Bit of a weird one

I moved my nutty n chromatus into bigger enclosures yesterday due to them constantly filling there water bowls with substrate and tipping them over and kicking them about. I thought put them in bigger enclosures and give them bigger heavier water bowls. I was filling the small water bowls 3 or 4 times a day. Both spiders have grown a lot but they actually are both clinically insane. Tempest is doing the wall of death at 100 mph round his new enclosure while Rapture is trying to headbutt his way out , literally throwing himself against the enclosure and it looks like he's trying to punch a hole or headbutt it til it breaks. I understand moving house is stressful but seriously calm down boys. They were quiet today but have obviously got there energy back now and on the rampage again.

Cn't wait for my OBTs to grow, they are still very young juvis, and nuts already, but I think that is in the job description for P. murinus. HarleyQueen? have any pics of your N. chromatus?
I don't have any decent photos of them because I can't take there lids off for long, I really don't trust them not to escape. They used to burrow a lot until I upset them by giving them a housing upgrade.
Yeh I know what you mean about orange biteys they are nuts. My chromatus are not aggressive toward me but they would like to have the whole house to themselves.

They have obviously burned off extra calories lately cos they were like a pair of piranhas at feed time today. Fortunately I managed without loosing any fingers.
