I have a fair amount of plant cover for my crestie and I'm sure she really appreciates that but at the same time, I can't catch her lol. I try to get her in a position where she has to walk onto my hand but she books it into the plants.
I suppose I can take the plant out that she is in but its a pain takin stuf out and puttin it back. thats prolly my only option but I was wondering how other people get their cresties out of the enclosure.

with juvi's a little tougher, they are just a fingerlength running through the vines Lol, but i do own 2 juvi's, housed seperatly. and one is real easy going, doesnt run can just pick him up with a little fuss. but my smaller one, is a pain in the butt, ive spent 30mins at a time browsing the little tank for him.... GONE. usually with his head between the bark and glass with just a little bum poking out the side.. in a situation like that, stuff must be moved. but in any other scenereo, the index finger and thumb should REST not grabbing, rest on each side of their
A- just beind the ears
B- just beind the front legs.

And cup him/her to feel secure. When it's sociable, it wont be such a task to get them out.

from what I was told, mine is about a year old and I have had her for a few months. if I can get my hands cupped around her she climbs on and is ok with me, its just getting her in a position where I can cup her haha. but if I were a crestie I'm sure I would react the same way.
