Living in Australia, I get the fun of rehousing huntsmans a few times a year. They decide that my kitchen is a great place to be, and sometimes I let them stay for a few days til they find their own way back out... other times, like when they start chilling in areas that I need to get to (like right on the kitchen bench, or if they decide to wander into one of the bedrooms), I evict them. I have a nice tree in the backyard that I usually let them go on.

[@ubit397]

Well done! And such a lovely enclosure. The availability of readymade specialized closures and attention paid to decorating them has improved by leaps and bounds since I got into the hobby 20 years ago. I'm always glad to see it. I must say that I've never seen anyone so stressed over a huntsman before. lol Not one that they were keeping intentionally anyway. 🤷‍♂️ But hey, we all have our own comfort thresholds and it's always better to be overly cautious than not cautious enough. ❤ Speaking of anxiety inducing... should you ever have occasion to rehouse an S. calceatum, I'd be keen to see THAT video. 😉

[@ubit397]

@@tarantulakat I've raised 2 male and one female S. cals from spiderlings and I can tell you that no other spider has caused such a high heartrate during rehouses and enclosure cleanings. Lmao In fact, my experience with the first one was so bad, that I customized the enclosures for the next two so that I could remove plugs and/or open small hatches, insert a tube, corral them into said tube with a drinking straw, and cap the tube before removing the spider from the enclosure. There was no way that I was going leave anything to chance again. 🤣

I keep expecting crazy things to happen with this spider, but she's never been freaked out by anything you've done so far... she seems surprisingly chill for her kind, but that could just be because you're a good handler and know what you're doing.

I was kind of laughing at how scared you were; having had huntsmans migrate in and out of my house at will. Though, I have to say, they usually hang out up the top of the wall, nowhere near me. I don’t know how I’d go if they decided to get too close or climb over me. They don’t harass me; I don’t harass them. It’s a bit more freaky when they decide to run across your car windscreen at night… can’t help asking myself “is that inside the car or out?”

[@becpurcell6773]

I'm Australian and have been dealing with huge warp speed huntsmans my entire life. I also personally keep spiders, scorpions, centipedes, mantis, stick insects as a hobby. I have a Sydney funnel web. I would rather deal with my deadly funnel web than huntsmans. I do have several huntsmans in my collection but they're nerve wracking to deal with. I had a couple of absolutely monster sized ones I raised from babies but had to re-home them as couldn't deal with their speed and the fact i could hear them galloping around their enclosures from across the room. Again, I still have huntsmans in my collection but I tend to stick to the slightly more docile badge, bark, and lichen huntsmans. I love all my critters including my huntsmans but I would never attempt to handle them. My tarantulas however are beautiful and I do handle them occasionally. Australian tarantulas are absolutely adorable and relatively docile at full size. Even my funnel webs are cute. Left alone to their own devices without them being stressed and messed with they are so funny and cute to watch as calmly go about their day.

the Barylestis scutatus aka the Cameroon crab spider. they are known to be very aggressive when chasing prey and very quick so care is needed when cleaning the enclosure. they tend to rear up as a warning before they bite and run/hide but will bite if provoked/scared(the exception being Female's which will bite if desturbed when defending their eggs). Bites are relatively harmless but painful the effects usually wear off after a few hours. their diet mainly consists of crickets/flies.
