Two New "T"S

[Mallard]

I just returned from the Ontario Reptile Expo.
Where I purchased a Grammastola Rosea sling and recieved a
Brachypelma Vagan as an added bonus.
Both are very small and will soon need to be moved to a slightly bigger
encloser. They are presantly in small pill bottles what is the safest way to move move them?
Thanks Jason

Since you say the slings are very small why don't you just leave them in there for now. G.rosea will stay in that for awhile, as they are slow growers. B.vagans will be there for awhile as well, but not nearly as long.

The safest way to move them though, is to just gently nudge them using a painbrush and or some other soft tool to get them out. You can even go as far as placing the pill bottles into the new enclosures(if they'll fit that is).

yes, keep them in the vial they came in. i got the exact same Brachypelma Vagan sling today at the exact same show, so i know exactly what size you're refering to.
