Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 66945" data-attributes="member: 4199">I've never had to remove one to do maintenance, however the A. chalcode likes to escape any time the enclosure lid is opened.  So she gets to chill out in a 16oz deli cup when she does an escape attempt.  She crawls up the side and over the edge into the cup, then the lid is snapped on. I have smaller deli cups that i use with all the others.  I use a makeup brush to gently guide them near a corner then cover them with the deli cup and put the water dish on top so they can't escape.  then I do whatever maintenance needs done and remove the cup after.  Less stressful that way i think than removing them each time.</blockquote>
