Professional Tarantulas Shipping Services

Tarantulas are generally docile, so some people allow their spiders to walk on their bodies. However, tarantulas will bite if they feel threatened, and their bites are venomous. If the spiders feel threatened, they may release these hairs, which penetrate your skin and cause itching and irritation.

In addition, if the hairs get into the eyes, they can cause serious inflammation. Therefore, be careful not to rub your eyes while doing anything with the spider and its body, and wash your hands well afterward. Also, do not allow children or other pets to come in contact with tarantulas.

Although their defense mechanisms make overall care somewhat difficult, tarantulas are still fairly easy to keep. They are a good choice for people who need a quiet animal that doesn’t require a lot of attention. Count on spending a few hours each week on feeding and cleaning. Then you can simply enjoy watching this unique animal. As a general rule, the tarantula is most active when it is hunting live prey. Otherwise, it will tend to spend a lot of time in a seemingly quiet state.

Shipping tarantulas

Spiders relocation is best in small containers so that the spider does not vibrate from side to side. For small spiders, a film can, a test tube, or a small container will do. Larger spiders can be transported in containers, small jars, or other suitable containers (tightly closed and protected from temperature changes).

A slightly damp cloth or a piece of foam rubber can be placed. The cloth will help to keep the necessary humidity and thus save the spider from dehydration. The most important thing is to squeeze it well because excessive moisture, as well as overdrying, can harm the spider and even lead to its death. There should be good ventilation in the container. If the ventilation holes were made with an awl or similar things, make sure that the punctures are on the inside. In this case, you will prevent injury to the spider during sharp movements against the punctures, which work like a grater. At spider transportation, it tries to get out of its box, so the lid must be held firmly. Just in case, the lid can be secured with duct tape or secured with a few rubber bands.

In hot weather, avoid sunlight on the container with a spider, as the jar creates a greenhouse effect, and the spider may simply not be able to withstand such temperature loads.
