I got a Brachypelma baumgarteni yesterday at an expo and it was in an 8 oz deli cup. He was kind of bolty so I don't want to deal with that in an enclosure that small so I rehoused him into a larger steralite enclosure with 12 holes drilled in the side and the same in the top. I decided to put him in a bit larger one so I don't have to do it every time he molts.
My procedure was to just put the deli cup into the new enclosure and let him come out on his own. Worked like a charm. I usually do the same when rehousing slings out of pill jars too. I figure it is less stressful to the spider. Anyone see any problems to this method? And what to do when the t won't come out on it's own?
Here he is in the new digs! So happy that the rehouse was uneventful as this was my first time with a non sling.
