Rehoused 3 today, hopefully into their forever homes now. The 2 Chilobrachys have gone into 12x10x10" terrariums and the Phormictopus into a 24x12x10".
The Chilobrachys sp Blue Vietnam, Han, walked from old to new container without a hitch.
Chilobrachys sp Nong Ya Plong, Xian, made it even easier opting to allow me to move it on the cork bark.
Now came the fun one, the Phormictopus sp. full green, Guaba. I thought it was going to be easy as Guaba is usually on its cork bark and I thought just lift it out of old container into the new, but no, it had other ideas. it wanted to play with the tongs. Ok, so maybe a nudge with a brush would be enough, but no, that became a toy too, rearing up with legs waving then it turned round and began kicking hairs. Last resort big box, strip old container of water bowl, plant and cork bark so I could drop a catch cup over, success Guaba clambered into the cup and happily walked out into its new home.
