    Best thing to do until you get used to them. Do unpacking, transfers and feedings in a large empty tub. (Like a snake tub) That way if they get away you can see them and catch them. Have a 16oz clear cup ready. Main thing is just stay calm.
    OK, I can do that! :-)

    Thanks!

    Yep i'm fixin to move her and the hmac girl up soon. What would you recommend? I checked out those gallon jars and don't like them. These will be their final houses so im willing to spend a bit more on them. I gotta make sure the hmacs is done well so she feels secure. Shes a very nervous T.

    Why don't you like the jars? I wouldn't want an adult female in one, I just like them for males or sub adults.

    Mine is very happy in her 5.5 but they are pricey. I'm hoping to find something cheaper for my final transfers but haven't yet.

    I wanna find an acrylic cage that would work since theyre lighter. Or maybe one of those exoterra enclosures. Theyre pretty cool

    Exoterra enclosures suck for Ts. To many places for them to run around the door.

    Haha true Damon. I had an Avic in one a few years ago. When I would open the door, he would come out by the hinge.

    Here is a little LP having dinner last night.
