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<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1512.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1512.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>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.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1510.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1510.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>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.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1505.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1505.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>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.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1514.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1514.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>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.Elf, one of the K. brunnipes<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1500.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1500.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Pixie, the other K. brunnipes<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1503.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1503.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Jumbie, C. elegans<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF1504.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF1504.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
