She was quite defensive when I gently touched her leg with a paintbrush to try and guide her out the old enclosure. This went on for a few minutes, so eventually I just left the old enclosure in the new one and she wandered out in her own time. Good luck with your rehousings 🙂
Stood her ground and stubborn? Or bolty and trying to flee? I’ll tame defensive and stubborn over trying to run any day! Easier to contain 😂. Mine is usually pretty calm/bold but even when I do startle it when I’m adding a drop of water or cricket or just checking on it, there’s usually just a retreat to one of the various hides it’s made in it’s dirt/web castle

Definitely stubborn and stood her ground, at no point did she try and bolt.

Spring sling delivery last week included:

1 x Cyriocosmus sellatus
3 x Harpactirella overdijki
3 x Ischnocolus jickelii
3 x Davus sp. Chiapas
1 x Phrixotrichus vulpinus
3 x Ornithoctoninae sp. "central highlands"
1 x Phlogiellus obscurus

A pretty nice haul, but they were unpacked in a hurry and I didn't get pics this time. I'll post some soon, though!

So I rehoused mine the other night and it behaved so well. It retreated into its web castle, so I pulled the whole castle out of the vial and just gave it a little shake in the new enclosure and it just jumped out into the new one. Took about 40 seconds 😎
