I decided today had to be the day to rehouse some of my Ts, no point in putting it off any longer.
First on the list was my T. gigas, Cayenne. The one I was dreading most. True to expectations Cayenne was off at great speed, straight up into the top corner of the ExoTerra viv that I use for security when rehoming. It did walk into the catch cup but sadly as I put the lid on Cayenne made another bid for freedom and I trapped a leg so now I have a 7.5 legged T. Gigas that I feel really bad about. Cayenne's new home is an 3.5''x4.5''x 8.5'' mini arboreal
Next up was Coco, the largest of my 3 B. albopilosums. Coco had been in a 4''x4''x5'' but has moved to an 11'x6.25''x4'' container. Not too much trouble with this one just a bit of stubbornness.
Jalen, the 2nd B. albopilosum was easy, I just transferred its water bowl to the new container and Jalen came along for the ride. This one has moved from a 3'' cube to an 11'x6.25''x4'' container.
Next was Tinto, the smaller of the 3 albos who has moved from a 3'' cube into the 4''x4''x5'' vacated by Coco. Tinto calmly walked out of its old home into the new one.
Now I had 3 of the 3'' cubes vacant so time to move a few little ones out of their vials. These were no trouble to move. It's so good to see how these 3 have grown as they were so minute when I got them.
