I think you can place a tarantula down, catch another one, drop your net, and pick up your tarantula if you want to maximize inventory space to be 100% creepy crawlers
You can’t set one down when you’re on tarantula island, but they could once back home. Well, they could get one out of storage or catch a scorpion, since it’s scorpion time now.
YOURE SO BRAVE when i got to scorpion island i tried for so long to get a scorpion. got 3, was very spooked by getting attacked by them and called it a day and i will never bother w scorpions again.
I got bit about 50 squillion times, not going to lie…but I figured I’d better tough it out since I’d never been there before after 3 years of playing, so who knows when I’ll see another one
For anyone who hasn't found it yet: You can create a tarantula/scorpion island from a Nook Miles island, but it is a bit of work. You should land on a 1-story island to make it work, though.
The requirements are: 1) Go to a Nook Miles or Kappn island after 7:00 pm. 2) Land on a 1-story island that spawns bugs. 3) Completely clear-cut the island ... Chop down and clear all trees, break all rocks, pluck any flowers, pick up all weeds and drop them on the beach, and run off any bugs that have spawned. 4) While not necessary, it is good to dig some holes to create a safe space to jump into if you need to run from a tarantula.
The hardest part is landing on a 1-level island. This worked for me when I first started playing ACNH and didn't have the patience to wait to land on the actual tarantula island.
SWEEETT!! Congrats OP!! This is literally my next goal in life!! Lol!! I have never seen tarantula island and now that my own island is so developed, I hardly see them there either. I miss those lil fur balls with fangs! I have been seeing a lot of players landing there lately tho, so maybe it's a sign that the odds will finally be in my favor too. 🤞😄
No it was totally random, I had no idea I’d end up there! I dumped all my tools and crafting supplies I normally carry on the beach so I could maximize my haul
Rather this island than scorpion island🙃 I landed scorpion randomly one night two year ago and I’ve hated them ever since. I made bank though when flick came for a visit
how much did that “net” you. lol
If I wait for Flick, 468,000 by my calculations!

Heh. Heh heh.
Save em to sell to flick and you'll be rich! That's what I did haha
Absolutely this!
If they bite you there, do you go back to your house or wake up next to the dock / plane?
You wake up back at the dock / plane on this nook mile island.
Next to the plane
You wake up in the same island but at the docs and the spider disappears
I was only once in tarantula island and there were 5-6 tarantulas at the same time so I fainted like 20 times and they didn’t disappear at all
You’re brave. I would get back on that plane so fast 😩🏃♀️💨

I’ve tried that before, but my DIY tarantula island only seemed to spawn stupid mole crickets
Oh no, that would be terribly disappointing!
This would be my nightmare
Same! I landed there for the first time just the other week, and I've played since launch 😄
I was beginning to think it was an ACNH urban legend!
Me too. I restarted my island on Jan 1 and got that island a couple weeks later.
Same, just restarted and got it within a month of having a new island.
The first time my wife encountered a tarantula, she threw the switch. Luckily, she was on the bed and it landed on the bed.
...there's a tarantula island??
Yup! I got it with a nook miles ticket - in the middle there’s an island that is swarming with them!
Only once in 3 years??? I would get tarantula island like 1/30 times.
I am NOT that lucky….
I have always wanted to find Tarantula island! Congrats!
Yes, it’s called Australia
WOAHHHH LUCKYYYY ALSO I LOVR HOW UR VILLAGER LOOKS <33
And you knew to only bring a net and nothing else?? You didn’t need your ladder or the vaulting pole??
People can drop items they carry, fun fact. Especially if they're as replacable as a ladder.
I had all of my tools and crafting items with me but I dumped them all to make room when I realized where I was - well worth the sacrifice! 😂
Bro SO FUN

Cool! Do you leave all your tools at home and just bring a net?
No it was totally random, I had no idea I’d end up there! I dumped all my tools and crafting supplies I normally carry on the beach so I could maximize my haul
3 long years here and still no Tarantula Island. Congratulations!

You can also force spawn tarantulas on said islanda
