The Right Way to Pick up Your Tarantula

For pet owners who are brave enough, you can pick up and handle your tarantula with a little bit of practice.

Before you attempt to hold a tarantula, make sure that the breed is safe to hold. Some tarantulas are venomous and aggressive, so check with your vet Arlington first.

Slowly and cautiously place your hand inside your tarantula’s cage. Gently rub your spider’s abdomen to let him know that you’re there. If your tarantula rubs its abdomen with its hind legs or lifts its front legs, you should leave it alone.

Never directly lift your tarantula. Instead, place your hand flat on the floor of the cage, palm up, and gently nudge your tarantula into your hand.

Tarantulas can be seriously injured if dropped, so make sure that you’re using both hands when handling one. If you want to learn more, click here.
