Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh" data-source="post: 14164" data-attributes="member: 1">Well, I'm about 1.5 hours into owning my first T: a Psalmoeus pulcher sling about 1" across.He was well-mannered when I transferred him to his enclosure but I could tell he could take off in any direction if he wanted. I carefully coaxed him into the enclosure and snapped the lid shut.He's really quite active. He's climbing about and really seems to like the top edge of the enclosure. It's probably 5 to 6 inches from there to the bottom so I'm concerned about him falling - but maybe I'm just being paranoid.He's really cool looking and a lot of fun to watch as he marches around.</blockquote>
