Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rs50matt" data-source="post: 179781" data-attributes="member: 27872">We have all 3 in top opening enclosures and they’re all fine (kinda) Violacious are quite secretive we’ve found so when disturbed they tend to run down and hide in dirt curtains they have made. Our burgessi normally just sits there althou it is the smallest of them all (size of the ones we have) the Gigas are lightening fast and will also run down, however one of ours is due a rehouse and due to its size it did jump out. Onto the missus hand then jump to her knee and then to the floor all before we could react.(it was cupped quickly and returned).  this is only due to its size in the current enclosure. Top opening are fine but just a little warning that if they do get abit large for the enclosure they are more likely to bolt out.   All nice Ts to keep thou <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
