Tarantula Keeper's Tool Kit

[Medusa]

Saw this in a Lee Valley catalog (garden supplies.) Might be worth a look...eventually I expect I'll have need of one.

Long-Handled Spider Catcher

This curious tool has a long handle with a squeeze grip to catch, hold and release spiders while remaining squeamishly aloof (about 2' aloof, actually).
A double ring of soft bristles encircles and gently traps spiders so that they can be relocated and released unharmed. (It easily reaches ceilings without strain.)

Made of ABS and polypropylene plastic, it includes a cover to protect bristles when not in use and a plastic spider for practice.

Sold as a package of two because you will always want to have one close at hand.

They should advertise this thing as "the sling crusher."

I'm with you on this. So many things could go wrong by relying on such a thing. And with soft bristles, I highly doubt it could really hold on to a large, heavy tarantula-which means that should you attempt to say, pick one up out of it's cage, get it just out of it and then the bristles can't hold the weight, bam, there goes your T. Yep, no thanks. Simple caution and common sense in keeping negate the need for such a thing anyway.

You sure that things a spider catcher and not a swiffer product? XD I'm pretty sure I dust the house with something similar to that.

I think it's designed to remove house spiders - most of which we have are larger than any of my slings, lol. Very valid reviews, thank you.
