Never tread on one, they can splay over a wide area. Especially the big ones:

I try to do the catch and release but sometimes they refuse to cooperate with the rescue operations and then my primal instincts kick in.
Had one coming across the floor in the bedroom once, tried my best to get the little bugger but he just kept scurrying around and finally went up into the folds of the bedding that were hanging down at the corner of the bed. Well, that sealed it. Visions of spider eggs being laid in my hair whilst I was sleeping... *shiver* From that moment on, we were sworn enemies.
Took a while for him to come back out into the open but when he did it was on like Donkey Kong.
