[QUOTE="newtots, post: 51326, member: 3236"] I feel I need to take back my prior comment.. I have 2 lp's both came as bonus spiders from 2 different orders. They're both pretty much the same size.. One an inch and a half, the other is 2 inches. Skittles hates me with a passion and will threat pose when I even touch the container, bubbles comes closer when I touch the container, so I thought he/she was the same. Apparently I was mistaken. Rehousing skittles was a nightmare. .. I tried putting the smaller container in the bigger one and closing the lid letting it come out on its own... It ended up being the spider sitting on the lid of the big container and refusing to move, I didn't want him to fall when I unclipped the lid so it became a patients test. Long story short I finally got it to move and I took the small container out. I tried the bag method with bubbles but he was scared of the bag and wouldn't climb up it. So I tried the same as I did with skittles... It came out, but got scared and ran back in the small one... Instead of just using its size and being like skittles ready to threaten anything it ran away and literally buried itself. It truly is an example of the difference in personality in the same species. I'm just going to do the same as before and let him come out on its own because right now it's just too scared to climb out. So really I guess I misjudged bubbles because of its size and speed when it's scared. [/QUOTE]
