[QUOTE="micheldied, post: 66940, member: 4088"] I actually never completely change the substrate in an enclosure. The only time my Ts have ever gotten new substrate is when they're rehoused into a new enclosure. I spot clean whenever I can, but for the most part it is IMO unnecessary and stresses out the T. The only time I would do it is if there is some kind of health hazard (mites, for example). When I spot clean nastier and faster OW Ts, I knock around and make sure they retreat into their hide first, and then use long forceps. If you really must, use the cup method. Although with a G. porteri you probably won't have many problems. [/QUOTE]
