Hey there, I did some searching around but I couldn't really find anything (of course I'm on my phone so there's a bunch of hidden results). I have an H. Incei who has quite an elaborate burrow system that I have only seen him out of once. Question is, how do I rehouse him? Dig around and hope he doesn't flee the scene or bite? Or is there an actual method?

Also he's about 2inches if that helps at all

Dig him out, OR flood the tunnel. Peeps do that with OW Ts

Yep, dig it up. Be careful not to harm her when doing that. Slow motions and tenderness is recommended! If you do it in your bathtub for instance, it's easier to prevent an escape and gives you more room to react (obstruct all the holes!). Take notice that there might be a chance your T will be hidden in a piece of substrate that you take out of the enclosure, without you noticing it. Check carefully everything you take out of the enclosure to find her. And do everything with tongs.
