I always ready for fun when rehousing Ts but its always the ones that you expect to play up that turn out to be angels.
After its last moult my Ceratogyrus meridionalis, Rift, definitely need more space so I moved it to a 12x10x10" terrarium. Rift walked slowly from its old home to its new one and has now disappeared under the cork bark.
Niassa, the Ceratogyrus sp. Mozambique was also well behaved although showing its displeasure at the disturbance. Niassa has moved to an 11”L x 6.5”W x 4”H container.
Then came a couple of little ones that I've moved from vials to 3" cubes
I never see Winti, the Neostenotarsus sp Suriname, so it was good to see it and grab a photo.
Dolichothele exilis, Orinoco
Last but by no means least came trouble in the form of Carib, my Tapinauchenius rasti (sp. Carribean Diamond). This one ran, first round and round the cricket tub then up over the side into the larger container that I was working inside. After a couple of circuits of that it found its way out onto the sheet that I spread on the floor. Now normally they don't run far before stopping but not this little horror not until I had it in the catch cup. Right catch cup over the new container and it was off again, this time trying to run up the outside of the catch cup but I'd expected that and had the cup tight against the side of the new container so finally Carib admitted defeat and dropped into its new home.
