Hey everyone
I have an order coming on tuesday with a bunch of slings(new world terrestrials). This is my first time ordering online. Usually I get my tarantulas at expos and the slings come in their homes with substrate. This time they will be packed in pill bottles with paper towel so they will need to be rehoused.
My usual method is to put the old enclosure inside the new larger one and let the t come out on their own. Obviously I can't do that this time so I was looking for some different approaches.
My plan was to use the above method for the 1.5" Aphonopelma calchodes and put them in a mini critter keeper if the t is large enough not to escape through the air vents. But what about a 1/4" Acanthoscurria geniculata? It will have to go in a pill jar.
I know about using barriers and catch cups and bathtubs etc. But what do I do if the sling bolts while I take the paper out?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I really want to get comfortable with this procedure and minimize any dangers and risks as I am really into the hobby and will probably be doing this a lot.
Cheers
