a look dont touch 'pet' wont feel the same bout you, lol
They are quick as lightning, and will be quicker than your eye if needed
make sure its in a sealed container too.
I would strongly recomend you get something else tbh, these guys will put you in pain from a bite
Oh they are taken from the wild too;(

Trapdoor spiders are super fast and will bite anything they can. They spend just about all of their life under their burrow so he will basically have a pet hole in a tub. Only real collecters usually get trapdoors. I would strongly recomend you advising your brother to stay well away until he has a good amount of expirience.
