Spider Care During Transit:

Feeding: If your spider hasn't recently fed, we include snacks for their journey.
Contents: Fruit flies may be enclosed with your spider during transit.
Weather Conditions: During extreme weather, shipping may be delayed. We prioritise our spiders' comfort and may use additional packaging like heat packs or packing peanuts. Our packaging is sourced from ethically sustainable suppliers whenever possible.

Unforeseen Delays:

Courier Delays:
Sometimes, unavoidable courier delays may occur. We package our spiders with care to ensure their safety. In the event of any delay, please monitor the tracking status and let us know if there are any concerns. Please be reassured that we package our spiders carefully to optimise their safety and comfort in the event of any delay.

Tracking:

Keep an eye on the provided tracking number. Contact us if there are any issues.

Instructions for Opening: 

Find a calm and quiet space away from disturbances to ensure a stress-free environment for your new spider.
Have your enclosure set up and open, ready to welcome your new friend!
Have small scissors or a cutting tool ready to carefully open the package. 
Hold the package upright and avoid shaking or tilting it to prevent unnecessary movement inside.
Cut or open the package with caution, ensuring that the spider's container is not directly under the cutting area. Slowly and gently unfold or remove any protective layers of packaging.
Locate the small plastic container which is housing your spider for its journey.
Carefully remove the bedding that has been placed in the container for your spider. Try not to make any sudden movements. Unfold the tissue and use a soft paintbrush or gentle nudge to encourage your spider to move into its new environment. Ensure the enclosure is closed.
Place the enclosure in a suitable spot away from direct sunlight and drafts, offering a calm environment for the spider to acclimate. Observe and monitor your new pet whilst they transition from the shipping container to their new home!
