Oh, of course not. I typically use chopsticks for everything though I'm going to order some tongs like everyone else seems to use. Mostly I was just concerned with the spider getting disturbed while I cleaned and the webbing getting ruined.
Ok, so it sounds like it won't upset her overmuch if the webbing gets a bit messed up.
That's what I do with my Hapolopus columbia's when they start running like nuts. It's very effective. It's interesting that your GBB is a spaz lol, both of mine are calm. As far as the webbing goes, yeah a small tear in the web so you can extract boluses/uneaten food items and later, clearing the web out of the water dish is not even going to phase the luggage,
Well, she's a teeny baby, still an inch. I'm sure she'll chill with age.That's what I do with my Hapolopus columbia's when they start running like nuts. It's very effective.

Uh, don't count on it. I started with a sling last year that has molted several times and is now almost 2"... And little "Grimm" hasn't chilled out at all. He's a crazy, fast one. [emoji15]
Mine have gotten more bold with age, maybe less likely to bolt but they will investigate what is going on.
After I noted my genic's feeding response, (Fully expected, but you often can't realize how fast something is until you see it for yourself) I ordered a 10" set of tongs. No way I'm putting my hand anywhere near that spider. when it gets on in size. At its current size I might do so cautiously in an emergency, but a bite would only be painful prick, not a traumatic puncture wound. But I haven't had any such situation arise, and I use the tongs anyway.
