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?
Also if it comes before my rents go to town about 11ish (they are going to get me a tank and to docs) then how long will it be ok in the box for? or will it be best to unpack the cricket tub from the box and just keep it in there?

the best way to uppack is put the tub in the tank and open the lid then carefully lift off the kitchen roll and let it come out in its own time, I would leave it in the tub until you get the tank from town it will be fine in there.

Ditto.


It would be fine in the tub for a good few hours, remember its just spent 24hr in it being bounced round a sorting office and a van

I would suggest place the cricket tub in the tank open the lid and if you are a bit nervous get a pair of 12" tongs to remove the paper towel and close the tank and allow it to move at its own pace.
