Stout Leg Baboon Tank Revamp (cranky fun w/pics!)

[RoachGirlRen]

I've been having some mold issues in my room lately and, despite it being one of my dryest tanks, my stoutleg's tank sprouted mold. I believe the source to be a dead cricket that I found during cleaning that had been tucked away beneath a log and was thus not removed promptly. Anyways, I am paranoid about any mold, so to see some suddenly and rapidly advancing through the tank of a pretty dry-loving species was horrifying! I decided to tear down and re-do the entire thing, and took some pics of this wonderfully cranky species in action for you viewing pleasure.

This is normally all I see of my girl...

If the burrow caves in during retrieval, guess how you figure out where the stoutleg went??

Captured and getting a little ornery...

Getting VERY ornery...

Ah! Surely the lid to this cup is the evil creature responsible for disturbing her rest!

Back at home and feeling better already

Re-done digs (not very impressive but eh, they're pet holes)

Thanks for viewing!

Woah! My girl has never given me a threat display! Mines as docile as a kitten. Your girl looks PO'd. Lol. Lovely species and pics!

Thanks guys! I really adore this little gal - they're a fun species! And j.everson, how funny! I've always heard that they are cantankerous and she is no exception. When I first got her and we were removing her from her old tank, she had a legitimate hissy fit - flopped over on her back flailing her legs and striking furiously at the air! She's always been just beastly to relocate.
