Hi guys,

I have to move my female out of her current setup, to her permanent setup.

She is in a 24x24x48high enclosure right now, moving to a 7'tall, 48 wide 21" deep enclosure... but I had the HARDEST time trying to pick her up this morning... I tried everything. At this point I would have to force her little fingers apart so that she stop grabing on to stuff. And ill never do that.

Any advise?? I want her in her new condo

turn her light off for 10 minutes or so, she should be more docile by then.

When our veild Sanchoz doesnt want to come out - which just happens to be pretty much all of the time

We just cup our hand around his middle and front legs and he usually just grabs us. If he's being extra stubborn which is more often than not then we'll still cup him up under his middle and front legs and put our other hand infront of him but higher so that he thinks its a higher way to escape and will crawl into both hands and we can pulll him out hissing and grumpy.

I dont know if it will work for everyone it works for us. Sanchoz isnt very agressive he hasnt tried to bite just hisses and puffs up. Good luck hope this helps you out???

p.s. watch out for the tail, its like 10 extra arms
