Once you have a tarantula in your hands keep it in the palm of your hand and do not drop it if you can help it.
Remove your tarantula from its terrarium and place it in a secure habitat so that it can t escape.
Next you need to use a 3 bleach cleaner to scrub the terrarium and furnishings before you fill it with new substrate.
This feature is not available right now.
Ideally you should clean and disinfect the terrarium at least once per month.
