[QUOTE="Will, post: 63998, member: 4182"] One of my RCF P. murinus slings which is just over half an inch did a runner yesterday when I was cleaning the substrate. I coaxed it into a small container, which went fine and then did all the cleaning. But coaxing it out again it decided it wanted to go the wrong way, onto my dining table and then hid under anything it could find, including table mats, drinks coasters and a piece of paper. All I can say is wow, these critters are super fast!! When they get a bit bigger I will be taking many more precautions dealing with these. Any time I rehouse or remove from the enclosure to clean, I will be doing so in the bath tub. I will probably use a variation of the 'bottle' technique too. [/QUOTE]
