Tarantula-ingThere was an old video on here of someone getting a spider out of a tub drain with a superworm on a string.

Well this little guy is definitely "Tarantula-ing" since he's found his dark, damp, and enclosed prime real estate inside my sink, but in this case he needs to stop acting like a tarantula! I'm very relieved that he's still alive and OK....it's just a matter of getting him out of there. Today I was half laughing and half cringing at the absurdity of the situation. Thankfully my S.O. is being surprisingly understanding.Tarantula-ing
yeah ive definitely never heard of a tarantula living in a sink before. Good luck on getting it out. maybe you could disconnect the sink from the rest of the pipes and put a container at the bottom of it, then it might crawl into that, maybe incite it with a heat mat like someone said (also like they said be careful about not letting it cook itself)Well this little guy is definitely "Tarantula-ing" since he's found his dark, damp, and enclosed prime real estate inside my sink, but in this case he needs to stop acting like a tarantula!

Finally, the long-awaited sequel to the the legendary drain spider.I tried everything to get it out and eventually thought I'd killed it, and was very sad. Well, not so fast. The next day I shined a flashlight down there and noticed webbing. The tarantula made its home in that overflow drain which is fused to the porcelain sink. I immediately plugged up the major drain and have been trying to lure it out with food. I almost succeeded but it quickly retreated at the last minute. It's been a few days now and it's still down there, happily carrying on.
Sadly, no. However, I do play guitar (although I'm mediocre at it). I wonder if a guitar string might work to help scare/ flush him out of the drain. Interesting suggestion.Very good! I of course knew you were a LotR fan before you explained the username in the other thread. And you get bonus points for not using the usual go-to name, "Shelob".
I mean, sure, Shelob was a big hitter in the Third Age, but was just a house spider in comparison to Ungoliant.
Now, as to the original topic, I have an question for SpideySpinneret...you don't happen to have the ability to play tasty bass guitar licks, do you? Because the solution may be at your fingertips if so!

This was not meant as a serious suggestion. Playing the bass guitar for tarantulas is an Arachnoboards meme that developed from an infamous thread:Sadly, no.

I have Festes, my Antilles Pink Toed tarantula, and she hangs out with me all the time, she especially loves fumbling around in my hair, she goes straight for it sometimes, and she loves the bass guitar, she'll come out and hangout on it when my fiance plays.

Yeah, I kind of forget that if you were not here to witness it, you may not be aware of the trainwreck that was that thread. Of course, I do my level best to keep it alive. Personally, I think it should be stickied.
The whole thread is quite a wild ride if you are ever looking to kill time.
Wonderful news. My wife and I have greatly enjoyed this story and watching it unfold. Congratulations to your well deserved success.Good news...I finally got him out of the sink! I disconnected the sink and scared him out of the bottom by spraying compressed air into the overflow drain. He was very defensive but I managed to quickly transfer him to his enclosure. He looks healthy and I'm relieved that this debacle is finally over.
Did you tell your wife what had happened or Ave like you dropped a random object down there? I would have never told mineGood news...I finally got him out of the sink!

I told my BF about it and he was surprisingly understanding, although frustrated, with the ordeal. I know that most significant others would've freaked out, so I'm thankful for his patience.Did you tell your wife what had happened or Ave like you dropped a random object down there?
