[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 48079, member: 3538"] Nope! The cork doesn't reach into the sub, so while removing the base the webbing isn't disturbed much, if at all. Yes, the bottle cap is pressed in level with the sub so it doesn't get flipped when reattaching the base. As for maintenance, 16" tweezers and a moist foam paint brush, in the early AM, do fine for me. If they attempt an escape, I simply set the enclosure on the bench top, and wait til they settle down and then complete the task.. No, I'm a firm believer in rehousing a T as few times as possible. Your size is fine, IMO, until it reaches 2"-2-1/2" then I'd rehouse. Don't worry, most arboreals are excellent hunters, they will take down prey as it roams about. I've witnessed my S.calceatums dive down and tackle prey. They're very aggressive hunters when hungry. Many believe arboreals have keener eyesight than their terrestrial counterparts.
