Exclamation Important-Baby terribilis issue

My 60 x 20 x 20 adult terribilis tank is infested with millipeds and there are cobwebs in the back as well as what appears to be a slime mold. I'm pulling the adults while i strip down the tank. Now here's the problem. My QT tank has baby terribilis in it, and i don't want the adults bullying them. My holding tubs are all being washed and i can't put the terribilis in an ordinary tupperware as none of them have lids. So that leaves me with a few options.

1. Put the adults in the QT with the babies.
2. Put the babies with the auratus/azureus/bakhuis
3. Put the adults in with the auratus/azureus/bakhuis

What should i do?

you can make the lid yourself, you can improvise something just for this period of time. If not, I would buy an appropiate sized tupperware, addapt it and put the adult terribilis inside. That would be for me the better option.

greetings!

None of those options sound like an acceptable risk to me. Go pick up a cheap quarantine container and some sphagnum. Temporary frog storage / home

Thanks. I did that. The babies are in the QT now and the adults are in the remade 60 x 20 x 20.
