LOL - Nothing wrong with being creeped out by spiders!! I know a LOT of people who are. I had the biggest, burley kind of dudes let out screams for me to come get spiders the were confronted with when I worked at a concrete plant. It was very comical

i think its the whole that spider can shoot up the container at me and scorpions can't. i had some semi arboreal species (Tityus) but they still couldn't climb the containers like arboreal Ts can.
It can be VERY time consuming when you get large numbers!!

And I HATE crickets!!! They are loud and smelly!!! But it's all I use currently - lol. I have been considering trying B. dubias but some T's just don't seem like them. I might give them a shot anyways. If they don't like them then I will stick with crickets. It wont hurt nothing to try. It would be nice to feed the big T's one adult dubia though as opposed to multiple crickets you know.

I know what you mean about the climbing T's. I think the P. regalis that bit RobC was hanging at the top of the container when he opened it and jumped out and bit him. He was JACKED up from that. Makes you a bit more cautioned when opening up or working in your pokey containers.
