[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 131392, member: 26980"] No, actually I just let him run around and then only interfered when he tried to run up the side of the sterilite container instead of his new enclosure. I just tapped him down and he went into the corner. Then I neatly dropped the catch cup right centered on his head. There was no wild goose chase. I figured that I'd just let him tire himself out. Currently, he's hanging out on the wall and I did get the catch cup back out. I washed out the enclosure thoroughly but there still might be traces of pheromones from my Pamphobeteus sp machala's environment present since I also rehoused her up from that 3 gallon to a 5 gallon Terra Blue professional enclosure, befitting her eventual adult size. I also gave him a substrate with a higher percentage of sand in it which is more appropriate for a dry species like H pulchripes. Now I'm waiting to get an adorable picture of him hanging out of the infamous skull hide. It may be a while. I'm not going to open it up for quite some time!! You don't open a cage until a tarantula has claimed it as territory and had explored all of it. Dry spiders are SO much easier to deal with!! Getting him set up was literally 1/3rd the time as Persephone's new home, which is just like her old one in every way accept size. Hybris, however, is in a totally new configuration. He'll slowly learn to appreciate it. [ATTACH=full]30245[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30246[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]30247[/ATTACH] The room is much colder then he's used to being in. I'm sure he'll find the hot side of the cage eventually!! [/QUOTE]
