[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 223613, member: 29323"] I find being calm, gentle & smooth in my movements stops my more skittish T's from being an issue & personally, I would say if T's are calmer at expo's it is more likely due to them being over stimulated & thus stressed at expo's due to all the people & them being transported etc. I always give my more skittish T's lots of cover. So for example I drill & hot glue plastic plants onto bark & wrap the plastic vine around tubes & I glue the ends of vine into the bark too. So it's all firm & predictable for them. Even my wifes P metallica, which is the most skittish T we have, runs for cover rather than run high speed circles around the enclosure, as it did when we first got it. So often I find that I can transfer T's simply by picking up the bark & transferring that complete with T. [/QUOTE]
