[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 171050, member: 3872"] I'm considering this for teleporting species like P. gigas, P. irminia, etc. For this example I am working with T. violaceus in a 32oz deli cup. I have a 32oz catch cup. [LIST=1] [*]Place a catch cup with the same or reduced opening size inverted above the T's current enclosure with the lid removed (think 2 deli cups [S]taped[/S] placed mouth to mouth) [*][S]Join the cup and enclosure temporarily, maybe taped on 3 sides (12:00, 3:00 and 9:00)[/S] [*]Cut an index card or similar stiff cardboard wide enough to cover the opening [S]but narrow enough to fit between the tape on 2 sides (3:00 and 9:00)[/S] [*]When the spider goes up to "explore" the new, higher ceiling of the inverted catch cup, slip the index card between the two cups. [LIST=1] [*]you need to lift the catch cup a bit to do this [/LIST] [*][S]Secure the two cups, remove the tape and lift the top cup and card with the spider away[/S] [*]You can reverse the process to rehouse. [/LIST] See Tom Moran's rehousing P. irminia youtube video, he shows how he adapts a 32oz deli cup catch cup to fit an Exo Terra Anyone try something like this? [/QUOTE]
