Answer 2

Don't be too afraid, since tarantulas are generally not deadly. Their bites may be about as painful as a bee sting, but nothing to worry about unless you're allergic. Though, they do shed hairs that can be very irritating to human skin, so try not to touch it.

Avoid startling the tarantula, and definately avoid pushing it off of anything or dropping it, as they are fragile and can be killed by even a short fall. Try putting out a large bag, and using a paintbrush to gently coax the spider into the bag. Tarantulas.com recommends keeping a "plastic cup or fish net available to catch it with if it bolts."
