Message: <blockquote data-quote="PamCz" data-source="post: 47315" data-attributes="member: 3784">[USER=3190]@Fuzzball79[/USER]:  HAHA!  Right on!  I've heard about these little speed demons.  I have a particular bathroom I use with all escape hatches covered.  Except....the vent fan on the ceiling. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite12" alt="o_O" title="Er... what?    o_O" loading="lazy" data-shortname="o_O" /> For a Tapi...I may need to cover that.  A little saran wrap & frog tape...no problem. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />How do Tapis rate, speed-wise, against H. lividum & L. violaceopes?  Those two are faaaaaast.  I had a lot of "fun" chasing those two around my bathtub/room. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" />  I have never seen anything faster than my H. lividum, a recent acquisition.  The other day, I was looking at it & I must've blinked, because I didn't see it move, but it was 6" away from where it was!  I now get it when people say some T's "teleport."</blockquote>
