I am curious if anyone else has any non-spider related objects they use as a tool or equipment for their Tarantula Care. I suspect there are lots of other entries other than mine. Some I have seen on YouTube.
Muffin Pan - I now have a bunch of T's in those 5.5 oz deli cups. Rather than carrying them by hand in multiple trips and risking a disturbance inside the cup, I now load up an old muffin pan that was no longer in use. I can now carry six at once to my workstation for feeding, water, etc. The plastic deli cups are small enough to be easily inserted and removed from the full size muffin cups. But I just leave them in the pan when feeding since it adds support and adds one more level of protection against escapes.
Chop Sticks - Most grocery stores with sashimi and sushi in the deli area usually offer free wood chop sticks right next to them. These can be handy to keep around for miscellaneous uses whether used individually or as a pair. I use them to nudge things (like the water dish) around in the substrate. And since they are free you just throw them away with one less item to clean up.
