[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 65520, member: 3458"] I did a spot of rehousing today so grabbed a few photos. First was the tiny Neostenotarsus sp Suriname, [B]Kalina[/B], that my son bought me for Christmas. It had burrowed such a big cavern in the 1" vial it was in that the substrate was almost bursting out of the top so it is now in a 2" dia container. It was an easy transfer as this little one was very placid and slow moving although it did meander across my hand at one point.

Again very easy as it wandered into the catch cup and out again as though it knew what was expected. I only rehoused this one as the water bowl had been leaking and the substrate was getting a little wet.

Again the reason was a leaky water bowl and its cork bark was starting to mould over. I was expecting this to be fun and Cayenne didn't disappoint. First it dived into its burrow so I was able to remove the plant and cork bark then I tipped the substrate and T into a cricket tub that I had inside a 12" ExoTerra viv .......and it ran round and round the viv and up and down.
