Re-homing a spider

[NaeNae]

hmmmm probably not.

Some spiders like particular plants for camouflage, nest building, even for the different insects they attract. Can you not just tidy up the plants that are there?

I guess there will be other spiders that you can claim as a pet but as I said different species prefer particular environments.

Ok I watch far too many doco's

Ah well its worth a try. The plant that is there is a perfect hiding place for snakes etc, and we dont really want a pet snake hanging around lol.

Give it a go. She will love you for moving her and not just ripping down her house with her in it

Good luck!

Yeah we have a few of those too. We have started lobbing off the lower branches so the bushes are more like a mushroom shape iykwim. We get a lot of snakes here but they seem to steer clear of the house and surrounding garden, too many other nice quite places for them to hide in

Thanks. I hope it is successful, she is just beautiful - a golden orb spider. Im usually scared of spiders but where she is located is a very quiet corner of the garden where DD nor I go very often, so I dont mind her hanging around
