I reckon you are afraid to handle them, you can pick them up.
I would love to see one.

This is when I moved her. The mother is agresive so I took the baby away. Does not want to sit stil keep runing around

Just be aware, keeping Baboon Spiders which you have caught in your backyard is illegal, strictly speaking.

If you are really keen on keeping spiders, have a look at getting some legal spiders.

You can buy exotic tarantulas like Curly Hairs for as little as R20 at some breeders.

I rescued them some idiot set fire to there home. I do not want to keep them if it is wrong. They are just getting tame now exspesily the baby wil they be allrigth back in the wild.

[Wallas]

If they were together in the wild, it is best to keep them together.
Unfortunate it is wrong to keep wild animals.

[Icequeen]

Ok. But were do I put them there home is gone

[Wallas]

A field were there is now humans near if it is possible, near a river or dam.
Or at a small mountain "koppie" that has rocks and holes.

Before you release them you can maybe try and see if they want to eat some crickets what you buy at a pet shop.

[Icequeen]

They don't want to eat I did try. I was told it is becuse it is winter so they don't eat a lot now

[Westley Price]

Release them in your garden where you found them.

Who knows, they might stick around and you might have a reunion with them once in awhile.

Rather keep away from the petshop feeders if you intend to release them. The feeders might be infested with mites.

I live in a small farm town no petshops around here
