yup, MUCH faster


I used to have a pet Tarantula, they hardly move at all! They lay what's called a "carpet web" rather than a traditional spider web. It lays like a carpet on the floor of the tank and then when I put crickets in it they would get stuck in when they jumped on it, and then "means on wheels" ahoy!

Be careful handling it, not the bite. BUT the body hairs they come off easily and can cause a rash.

They can shoot the hairs off. I got bitten once or twice, nothing worse than a bee sting but it is VERY sore where the fangs go on cos of the puncture wounds
