Default How do you unwrap a posted spider?

Im getting my robustum tomorrow and I know itll be in a cricket tub inside another box full of wrapping. But the spider isnt also wrapped up in kitech roll or something isnt it?
If its a nervous and fast species such as mine wont it run or attack when being unwrapped?

I think your getting yours from the same guy I got mine. Mine was in cricket tub, but he himself wasnt wrapped, so was just a case of put cricket tub in his setup and remove the lid, and he will climb out when he's ready.

I recieved a MM Tapinauchenius latipes yesterday and he was inside a toilet roll tube padded with tissue, then inside a cricket tub packed with tissue. These are lightning fast so i didn't take any chances. I opened the cricket tub and pulled out the toilet roll tube. Removed the tissue blocking it up from one end and just stood the tube in his new home and let him come out in his own time.

For your one, unwrap it and so you can see it and so it can get out, leave it in his house to be and by morning he should be out and about

The bath is a good idea!!

I recently got a chilobrachys fimbriata, that i thought might be a bit of a handful. I put everything in a 64L rub first! He was in a film pot. I put this in his new home, pulled the tissue from the end and left him. He came out on his own. When he'd settled down and disappeared in the new home he dug, a couple of days later, I removed the rest of the tissue and part buried the pot for an additional hideaway.

He surprised me. He's a lot calmer than I expected.

I got a P regalis in one of those wee pots you get from the doctors.

I just took the lid off and let it come out on its own into its tub.
