Easy - I put them in baskets! Impossible to crawl out.

Ok fine - get a glass bowl, that should help!

No luck on anything posted for splitting. I manually fragged it few months ago and its stayed put ever since. Although it’s getting quite big again and touching a couple acro pieces.

So far, it sounds as though you have to incarcerate them to sit still. Anyone try to pin one in place? If we can chop them up and they survive, surely one small piercing can't hurt it. It will be the most styling nem on the planet

You chopped it with a knife? What’s the procedure?

First chop was not clean. Tore it in half without knowing when I took the rock out and it was still attached to another. Other half was still too big so took a fresh clean box cutter blade to it.

All 3 healed nicely within a month.

Less than 6 months in and it’s huge again

Lower your ALK to 7 and then spike it to 10.5.
