alrighty.
so this is the bad boy that was hanging out on my hand last week.

you can see the fangs have yet to harden up yet, so no food yet!

last one! I'll take him out for a walk once he hardens up, next week maybe.

i was cleaning the cage and by accident, disturbed the poor fella. he turned around like a bat outta hell... stridulating and rearing

i havent seen him fully out yet, so i'm not sure..

and i just caught this bad boy by accident, so he was mighty angry


when i transfer him/her to the new cage, i'll grab some more pics on my hand.. assuming s/he is up to it.


i'm interested to see the size change!
you're right -- beautiful colours! thanks for the T again man!! im still waiting for pics of the Ts I sent you

My Pterinochilus murinus Tang molted last week. But she's such a chicken! i'm sorely disappointed. She's anything but a little orange demon much feared by the Petshop owners I bought her from.

LOL, Dave you think it will coraperate like it did before,when there in premolt will are they more talorable then they normally are?

ive held the mean ones before with the simple easy method:

just let it climb up the cage side onto your hand.
obviously if its not in the mood, then you gotta respect that.

but in my opinion, i find its the best method to wrangle a nasty T. I find it better than the pin, or hand-in-cage method. Everyone's got their own ways though...

yes, i've gotta transfer this guy into a new cage, and ill just use my hand if he's up for it.

general disclaimers apply of course.
there's always a chance of getting tagged... you know the drill.

if not, i'll use a deli cup.
i'll post more pics though.

S/he's gotta harden up though.
crazy stridulating though
