[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 133474, member: 3458"] I was giving my smallest Ts a spray tonight, those that are in containers where I can't fit a water bowl. I'd sprayed 8 of them with no problem but when I squirted water into the deli that houses my tiny (0.5") Pseudhapalopus sp. Blue, Neiva, the little monkey shot out onto my hand. I managed to get the lid of the deli over the sling but Neiva managed to slip out under the edge where it didn't quite touch my wrist. I almost got it again but then it vanished. Now, I keep 25 T containers inside a 3' vivarium to protect them from the cats and all this action took place inside the vivarium. There are 3 8" cubes, 4 small arboreal containers, 16 4" cubes and 2 delis in there all to be checked over in case Neiva was on one of them - no sign. Not a sign of the sling across the back or sides or even along the front at the bottom. All that was left was the top front where the runners are so I ran my finger along and thankfully Neiva appeared on my other hand. By this time I had grabbed a 1" vial for a catch cup and managed to get the little escapee safely in with lid on. Neiva then behaved and went back in its deli without incident. It just shows that no matter how much care you take there will always be one that makes a bid for freedom and usually one of the smallest ones that can be so difficult to spot. This is the vivarium I had to check through. [ATTACH=full]30999[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
