rmsd is around £4.95,packed with tissue in a plastic ventilated tub slightly larger than the t,then in a cardboard box with tissue around the tub inside so the tub has very little movement within the box.think this is right?

No, just write "Fragile, live insects inside" (Yes, I know they are not insects, lol)

the best way I have found well for aggressive Ts anyway, is use a 2litre bottle with the bottom cut off, then line it with tissue, then scoop the T up in it and put more tissue in the cut off end it then tape the end back on. You will want to make a few breath holes in the bottle before the T goes in, and you will want to cut the 2 litre bottle down a bit, so its not so long.

Great idea, I've never thought of that before.

someone sent me a tarantula like that before, and then it made me think, because normally to get an aggressive T into a cricket tub you need to use a bottle anyway, (well its easiest with a bottle) so why not just scrap the tub and line the bottle, then its less work.
