I cleared out the viv where some of my containers are kept, catch cup to hand and the ExoTerra Nano ready, I began to remove her cork bark and plant. I'd just got everything half way out when she ran straight out of the container. She had a 3.5' viv to run in but no, she ran straight at the open door, luckily I managed to redirect her and shut the door. Phew!!!! The next bit was relatively easy as she'd come to rest in the top, back corner and with a very little encouragement she walked into the cricket tub that I used as a catch cup and I put that and her in the Nano leaving her to calm down and make her own way out. She's now hiding behind the wood somewhere.I grabbed a pic of her still in the cricket tub<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF0609%202.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF0609%202.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Falcon's new home<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF0613.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF0613.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
