Rehoused T. Gigas sling

I rehoused my T. Gigas and my Boehmei sling last night.
The T. gigas because it was in an opaque jar and you could hardly see it. It also recently molted so has been quite reclusive. It cautiously explored a few steps away from its web (which I was able to save most of during the rehouse), so I could take 2 pictures before it went back inside.

I also rehoused my B. Boehmei sling into something a tiny bit bigger. It's not too sure about it yet, and has not discovered it's den yet. I think my Boehmei is probably my least confident spider :(, I don't know why...

Well done! What cute little Ts! Boehmies are usually a bit skittish (even my sub adult is a bit high strung and nervous) so don't worry too much about the little guy. :)

I love when I'm able to save some of the web when transferring Ts. I was fortunate enough to get both an OBT and a GBB out with their cork bark and webs recently, and they settled in quite fast as they used the old structures as instant dens. They are now expanding their webs and look quite comfortable in their new homes.
