Well I wasnt really ready for these but could not resist. The metallica was dirt cheap and the ornata was almost free.
The ornata is a pain to feed in the small vial he is the smallest. If you crack the lid to slip a cricket in the vial he darts out lighting speed and tries his best to get out and he does not stop. He just about wont let you in with a pair of tweezers any wider and he would be on the fly
The metallica seems pretty docile and if you gently tap the top it goes to the bottom of the jar no problem.
I know they should be kept in smaller containers but putting one in a bigger jar I think safety wise would be better than risking a ascape from the small jar. do you think these jars are too big? my assessment is the metallica is big enough for the larger jar but I think the ornata is too small. It is about half the size of the Metallica and the Metallica is oh about 2 inches. I guess I am kind of skidish about doing this but to tell you the truth these guys are a differant ball game compared to my docile t's.
My Idea was with the larger jars I could release them by just setting the jars inside the larger ones pop the lids and let them come out on there own. I am betting that ornata would love to do a 360 on a jar and run all over you
