No good can come from disclosing their extra guests.
That said...
...Unfortunately the motels out here are drug and prostitution holes....
...I don't know if I'd be more perturbed by finding an urticating hair, or a bristly curly whirly...

I don’t even know why it would be a big deal since they are all in enclosures and have no smells. I would see feeders being the most problematic to have. Since they are some kind of pest when you think about it.

i can just imagine someone going to the hotal with their dubia colony. That would definitely get some reactions.

just use some big empty card board boxes to carry your collection into your room make sure to hang the no room service notice outside your door so the maid wont enter the room to clean etc

It would have to be a tiny dubia colony , I wouldn’t be able to walk into a hotel with a 27 gallon container of roaches. A motel maybe .🤔

Ok friends got all my spiders in the hotel today before going to work so had to find an early check in place but thank hod I learned by hardcore arachnids and spider shopped great packaging I tried to emulate it and not one spider was jostled the whole way there!! I started unpacking but took a couple pics😂 my moms face when she saw how many spiders I really have😂😂😂 so busted myself should not have asked for help today she also dropped my feeders since they made noises thankfully they were tapped up in a cardboard box also!! Let’s hope I don’t get busted in these next 3 weeks I said I had a germ and ocd problem (I really do) so no room service was needed. Wish me luck and thank you everyone for all your help!!

Yes but all are helpful I had no clue about those types of enclosures until a few years ago and I’m not sure which brands are good or not . I may not need any soon but plastic shoebox are getting expensive . Target discontinued. My favorite two models.

This adventure you are on is creating a precedent in traveling with spiders. Keep documenting. If hell breaks loose, you can always say you are going to let us all know how your hospitality was. Then the tarantula trolls will unleash unspent energy.

Hahahaha omg my coworker was just saying that!! I wish I took better pics of my boxing good practice for later. And me trying to hide my oil filled heater the top sticking out the box😂😂 it was a hot mess but the spiders were treated better then anything I took. The lady’s face when I said I don’t need clean sheets or anyone in my room because of having a germ problem and ocd I almost ☠ I said “don't worry it’s a me problem I know” the smile she gave me was priceless!!

Mental illness is valid. No one can deny a persons need to privacy. Especialy after covid: many people bring their own sheets.

i mean, bed bugs..

nope wish they had them but i think that might be why they last longer and dont crack as easy
Yeah probably right. I don’t care really until I

Omg exactly!! Covid I feel kind of made ppl see that about mental illness not as bad a stigma as before but still when ppl don’t understand or have to deal with something it’s still a little uphill battle. Luckily this hotels only been open a year kind of hidden so I think it will be ok but after hearing about how room service cleans I was sniffing the desk the floor the bed to see if I could smell anything 😭

For those who believe in covid, it is still there. We are trying to adapt to something very strong. It will bring out the worst in people.

People have never been aggressive so much as post covid. Impatient, angry, ill… we have not finished going through this.

the year covid came out, people laughed at me in class. They thought i was silly not to want to touch doorknobs. This was before covid happened.

i had this discussion in class about a great epidemic on its way because we were late since the last one. I said it was going to be bad and many people were going to die.

i actualy got to say i told you so. And then people treated me differently… nobody makes fun of me anymore. Except people who know me. And when they do, it is because it is making them anxious.

I actually watched this super cool documentary not on nova but something like that I’ll have to find it for you but they talked about it was time for another pandemic and like 2 years later Covid it was crazy I made everyone at home watch it after that. I’m really happy ppl stoped looking at u like that for the most part, still sucks when someone does regardless. lol I would have listened to you in a heartbeat u are one person I see always trying to learn I admire all the knowledge u have and always wanting to grow. My coworkers and even family make fun of my cleaning but I also am on the liver transplant list so my immunity sucks so that doesn’t help but at least since Covid my family finds some stuff I do helpful now and I thought it was gone but in the past month I’ve had 5 siblings and my mom get it out of nowhere! I can’t believe I haven’t working in a grocery store😂I’m actually naturally lucky when it comes to stuff like this
