Hello, I've been lurking the forums for some time now, but never posted.

Recently I acquired two female Ptychozoon kuhli (Flying Geckos)
This is the first time I've ever owned geckos, and yes I'm aware it was probably not the best choice in "starter geckos" but I had spent months in advance learning about them and their needs. However, there's not a TON of information available about this species, at least not as readily available as leopard geckos. So my problem actually comes down not to direct care issue.. but rather the fact that I need to clean their tank out.

Getting them into the tank was easy... but I'm not really sure how to get them OUT of the tank for maintenance.
I currently have a 60g tank for them with a sliding latch screen lid, and these little guys are FAST. What is the best way to wrangle them up safely?
I basically just want to get them each into their own individual cups so I can change the substrate, replant some of the vegetation, and set up the misting system I ordered this week so I can stop doing it by hand.

Thanks in advance, hopefully!

Welcome to GF! I wish I could be of direct assistance, but I don't keep them. I recommend that you go back to your google search "flying gecko care" and then message/email the authors of the care sheets.
