Default Cleaning out a speedy spider?

Any tips on cleaning out my b. vagans that zooms up my arms at any opportunity he gets? He sticks to everything and moves like lightning when he wants to!

thanks

Use a large empty jam jar as a hide with substrate in, and just cover with the lid when you want to clean it out.

get a container of relevant size, pop it over the spider and slide some card under

i normally use a 2 ltr coke bottle with the bottom cut off for my fast spiders
just be careful you dont catch the legs!

Just get some 12" tweezers and use them to remove old bits of cricket. Thats the only cleaning out they ever need ...
