not really a major worry,they don`t scare me(well not now anyway)i was more worried that if one jumped and i got a fright i might shake/swat or whatever it to get it off.i wouldn`t like to hurt any of them.i will continue to half cover them when spraying/feeding.

Once we found a huge yellow and black striped spider (2cm leg span and about 3cm length) in a wood shed, and it jumped about 80-1m up onto my friend!!! it was really freaky!
