When as the sun moves round and catches its container it will move into the sun.My Borneo black is what I'd call shy, when it was in the smaller container I rarely saw it as it spent most of its time in the burrow. Rehousing was easy as it walked into a catch cup and out again into its new home with minimum encouragement and no threats. It sulked in the corner for a few days before starting to web up the side of the cork bark but hasn't moved far except to eat. it's definitely more likely to make itself as small as possible rather than make any threats.</blockquote>
