It’s been very interesting reading and useful to bear in mind for future handling. I think I had it easy with the first two I moved but that doesn’t mean to say they would be like that again, also I realise just how fast they can move in catching prey, sometimes I think ‘oh it’s in its hide, I’ll just pop my hand in and retrieve a water dish’ but remember their speed and know there’s no way I could move my hand out if they went for me so my rule is forceps always and only. Thank you, very interesting post.</blockquote>
