I got a new-GIANT (old!) briareus from Tom on Tuesday. To get it out of the acclimation bucket, I had to use a giant coffee mug and transfer went with no problems. But now it won't come out of the mug to look around and see that there are way better places to live, much more suitable chunks of LR, and even a new big chunk of Texas Holey rock that I got just for it. Every day it has rearranged the small rocks and shells in front of the mug (I tend to think in terms of a hockey goalie who doesn't want to come out of his net- it's named for the Red Wings' net minder) it's arms are so long that it can reach tons of stuff from where it is- and never seems to have left the "net!" Even at night when I get up and check, still in the mug!
My question is: should I move the mug or LR around it to encourage the beast to find a better home (and reclaim the coffee mug), or leave things be, as we can see it well and it seems to be shy, if I give it a better place to hide we might only see the tip of it's arms! Hoping it's a female, maybe the mug is a great place to lay eggs...
