[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 142806, member: 27883"] Slowly slide the lid open and have a clear catch cup over the edge for him to climb into. Be very careful of his toes. Move the screen slowly and wait for him to move each toe out of the way before progressing. It may take a few minutes, but don't be in a rush. Dry substrate for this species, and a water bowl. I only drop in one food insect at a time. If they don't take it within a few seconds, I remove it. Crickets can kill them if they chew on them during a molt. Also, be aware the some species cannot be housed in tanks with wire lids. Some tarantulas will pick at the screen and make a hole in it, and they can also get their little claws stuck in it. You might need to use a different style of caging. Time will well. [/QUOTE]
