Well, I just finished dinner and decided to upgrade one of my tarantulas to a new bigger enclosure. So, I sat down at the table in pajamas, while my kids finished eating and began the transfer at the table. Well, as soon as I "THOUGHT" I had it in it's new enclosure the thing decided to run up my tweezers, down the side of the new enclosure, off the table and landed directly in my "LAP"! Having something with fangs land in your "lap" is not cool, regardless of what you're wearing. SO i jumped up and there it still sat, on my "lap". My 5yr daughter kept advising me of where it could potentially bite me and my 6yr old son advised me that he was running if it came near him. Now let me tell you, I was utterly mortified at this point. Finally, I was able to get the trouble maker off my "lap" and back into it's new enclosure. My heart just stopped pounding out of my chest. My new rules for doing upgrades... Rule number one, never do up grades at kitchen table during dinner, Rule number two, have a back up plan if there is a escape. Rule number 3, never do transfers while in night clothing with no back up plan at the kitchen table. Lastly Rule number 4, never use the short tweezers when dealing with a nervous T.
