first fast T transfer (i didn't die!)

[tarantellajen]

My 1 inch H.incei's vial experienced a case of "beginner keeper paranoia". It got little mite things after getting too moist and having a dead cricket (I'd attempted to take it out and the T tried to escape). Plus, it should be molting soon, and the vial didn't look roomy enough, so I decided to transfer. I used a 60 ml syringe barrel that fit right over the vial's top and it worked great. I did it in the bathtub. I flooded the burrow with water squirted into the small end of the syringe using my mouth, and the T went right in. (make sure the T isn't small enough to squeeze through the small end) Then I just blew it into the new enclosure. Some might think, H incei fast? compared to Pokies anyway, but for me being as a beginner, it was a big step from the typical slow terrestrials.

Good job. rehoming your first fast T is always a bit nerve wracking. My H incei's are faster then any pokie I've ever experienced but not quite so nervous.

pokies arent that bad theyre just nervous and run around in random directions

I'm thinking of rehousing my OBT slings soon...and as feisty as one of them is, I'm not exactly looking forward to it. The little brat already escaped once, I don't intend on letting it happen again.
