[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 143077, member: 26980"] I had a baboon tarantula pull a stunt like that. Since the cage was in a tote with a cold water mote in a bathtub, he wasn't going to go anywhere. One toe in the water & he always headed back up!! What I did was to prod him and gently blow on him to keep him running, which he managed to keep up for a minute or two.,.teleporting actually. Basically, it was the same thing cowboys do called round penning a horse. I just ran it in circles until he got to tired to run and slowed down. After that, he calmly went back to his home. Containment saved the day!! They don't have advanced respiratory systems and really can't maintain a sustained effort for very long, just quick bursts of speed. Here he is after he slowed down and I got him back on the shelf. [MEDIA=youtube]qre_hc7GPME[/MEDIA] My C versicolor is a joy to rehouse & is in it's forever home. Hopefully, I'll never have to pull him out again. [MEDIA=youtube]VXY8nl7vWas[/MEDIA] I used the catch cup as more of a trial run to see how it would work with a much faster species, namely my pokies. That's totally unnecessary for this species. [/QUOTE]
