Message: <blockquote data-quote="Therasoid" data-source="post: 67061" data-attributes="member: 3538">Always looking for different and safe methods to transfer the T's, I gave this way a try. While clearing items for the room expansion, found a stack of thin cardboard backing sheets. I came up with this, taking a ruler, razor knife and tape, fashioned a tunnel-like bridge to connect the enclosuses. Bear in mind, I build 3 arboreal enclosure sizes, so a larger one needs fabricated for the final transfer. I've not really cared for transfering in a bathroom, plugging drains, faucet openings and such, too time consuming, IMO.  So, by the photos, very little space is required  for a safe transfer. 2 gentle nudges on her hind legs was all it took to complete the transfer. Total time to make cardboard structure, set enclosures and her co-operating, took >20 minutes.  The transfer took place the morning of 1/26 and last night received a "thank you" by molting. Should note this is a P. striata. [ATTACH=full]14031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14031[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
