Hi Guys!
So today I finally managed to rehouse my Lampropelma nigerrimum.
It was way over due, I tried to rehouse her last week as well but she refused to leave the old enclosure, and I didn't want to mess around with her too much.
But when I checked on her today I saw that her substrate was looking really nasty so it was definitely time to get her out of there.
It took a while but I managed to get her into the catch cup without any major drama, getting her out of the catch cup and into the new enclosure was a whole other story.
I always use a piece of bent wire to gently poke them in the direction I want them to move, but she didn't like that one bit and started to strike at the wire.
But I want to make it clear that this was not an act of aggression, she was just really scared.
And that´s why I always use the catch cup method with the more skittish species.
It´s safer for them and safer for me as well.
So last but not least I thought I would show you a little picture of my beautiful Lampropelma :D
