[QUOTE="kormath, post: 117669, member: 4199"] from what i've seen water just pisses them off. That's not a T i would want to have running out of it's burrow pissed off at me for pouring water in it. ;) I don't have any experience with this species but this is how i would imagine to rehouse a pissed off lividum :D Put the enclosure in a large tall aquarium. Then with a small spade and extended handle (like 4 ft or so) gently scrape away the substrate and shovel it out of the enclosure into the aquarium for easy clean up. Keep doing that until you've pissed off the T enough it comes out of the enclosure. Then using 3 ft long tongs lower a catch up and with similar tongs lower the lid, and coax the T into the cup, then hold the lid in place with the tongs. Carefully move the catch cup to the new enclosure and remove the lid with the tongs. squint your eyes and cringe until the T leaves the catch cup and goes into his new home. [/QUOTE]
