Don't breathe
You have to be slow and gentle when opening her container. One wrong breath and she is out. She is a spaz
Mine used to do a lap on the outside of the deli cup every time I opened it up. Thankfully it grew out of that.
 
She is up for a rehouse this weekend. She is close to 5" dls and out growing this converted pistachio container. I will move my P. regalis sling into this one.

"I don't need to get a pokie..."

Awesome spider for sure though! Maybe one of these days I'll get brave enough...

Thanks for sharing,

Mine is mostly light sensitive, when i grab the container she freaks out completely. But when its finds shade, it stays put and can open the jar no problem.
Mine had some weird form of dks like symptoms when i got her but she seems to be doing well, I only need to get her to eat.

Really beautiful T, i catch myself sometimes just staring at them for minutes doing their pokie-thing.:angelic::angelic:
 
After I started with the "airlock" style of transferring I've never worried - two pieces of cardboard (one with hole in center) and a huge deli cup with holes to fit a straw or other poking mechanism. My lady is the same size and fast as lightning, but eventually she runs up into the cup and ta da! Although last time I had to rehouse because I found grain mites all over her molt :(.

They are so pretty, especially yours! Great photo and good luck with the rehouse! Do the airlock and save yourself the heart attack :D
