Yes before I put her into the 4ft enclosure Tara was in a 2ft terrarium and she always went into either hide and it was simple to pick her up but now I have bitten the bullet and being scared and got her off the vine. It takes me a few minutes of twisting and undoing her but she is alright about it. I don't want her to just sit in there and not have any contact with me. I would have bought a spider if I didn't plan on holding her!!
