When it arrives it will no doubt be in a container that will fit inside it new home so the easiest way is to place it straight in and then remove the lid, shut the door/lid and leave it to find it's own way out.A pair of long tongs are useful to have for regular maintenance.Another habit I found was to put the food in a small vial so you can open the Ts home the minimum amount, tip the food in and your done. Remember not all Ts are out to get you, most will run away rather than attack. Keep your movements slow so you don't spook them and I'm sure you'll be fine.</blockquote>
