After an experience rehousing an OBT, I now do rehousings in my bathtub with the shower door closed, so if they bolt, they're easy to recapture. Surprizingly, both the Rufilata and my O. Violacoepes crawled right into their enclosures with just a little foot tickling with a paint brush. As far as exciting rehousings go, the H. Maculata was the most challenging and uncooperative. Haven't seen that one in a while, But it's webbing up the top and bottom of it's cork bark tube
