Default New arrivals (and some awesome packing too)

First up, from our very own Paul (spit051261/Elliot Ness) MM P. fasciata







Next up from Exopet, orange trapdoor (to replace my silver one that didn't make it). This thing is insane and is biting the inside of the cricket tub as I write :eek:

well when it's finished being processed, watch this. It's an evil little :censored:. I've put it in a tall but narrow container in the hope I might be able to see it underground.

I stopped recording after a while, because it was so angry I decided I needed 2 hands!

Cool vid, you should have said something
If i done a vid I would say not a word ha ha.
Ill see how you get on, I would get one if it was possible to see it in its burrow. Are you going to black out the container with something so it thinks its secure? Then you can remove it for a look

I kept quiet on purpose! If I'd said what I was thinking, youtube would've banned it lol
I may do the black card thing. I've made it a starter hole against one side, so if I black out the tub for a few days, it might adopt that one rather than moving to the middle out of sight.
