Yes, another question, though less silly this time.
I must admit I’m in a new league with my new T’s my Costa-Rican Zebra might have been a bit skittish and my Chilie Rose might have had his off days, but they weren’t like my Pokie.
Basically I’m thinking of tank maintenance and such like. My Blondi at the moment is a sweetie who hasn’t flicked hairs at me (yet) and with a little encouragement manoeuvred herself into a 1 litre jug for transferring her to her new tank and for me to take photos. My P. Regalis however is greased lightening with a temperament that makes me very cautious (if it’s in my tank I’m going to jump on it). I tried manoeuvring her into a pint glass, so I could rearrange the tank slightly and check for bits of crickets, but she wasn’t having it and performed some remarkable acrobatics before deciding that the threat came from above and heading up the side of the glass towards me. She wasn’t scared; she was just irritated and intending to do something about the idiot who was nudging her at long range. I’m not expecting love and cuddles, but how do people cope when working in a tank when you’ve got a spider like this?
Any tips and tricks are most welcome,
Phil
