I feel the above 'scrambling, scatter-brained' describes her movements well <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> For a few months she would run in random directions then vanish as soon as I got near the enclosure, but recently she'd been sitting on the lid and refusing to get off it even when I lift it to get food/water in, so I wonder if she's becoming more confident lol and I am very wary of her running out. I am curious - is the 119 dollars the going rate for P. metallica slings in the U.S.? I know they used to be really expensive but in the UK they seem to be much cheaper than that now :O</blockquote>
