on the run for bout 3 days... and its in my living room(the cage) but now it could be anywhere in the house its 3-4 in.

well..if the tarantula is arboreal, it would probably be hiding on curtains, shelves, (high places)
if it's terrestrial..than probably it'd be near the ground.
Close the door of the room where it escaped..just in case it's still in the room.

also, try putting water dishes on the floor, and check and midnight-ish.
this worked for me once.

Look in all the places you would want to be if you were a tarantula. Anywhere dark and warm is a good place to start. Leave out some water dishes and wait around there for it. Worse comes to worse, lay out some sticky traps.

I have had 2 obt's escape and none of them wandered for more than ten feet.They are not a wandering species.It will be onder something,or in a crack in something near the floor. If it was near a fridege,its there.I found both mine under my dresser in between two books. Set it a few hiodes in some darkk spaces.It will find them and use them..

obt's tend to like dark off the ground places to hide ( well my female does anyway) and it wont be far from its tank unless its been scared away from it. Check in places like the back of draws and funiture book case backs and sides and tv stands and cupboards would also be good places to look. Also any boxs that you might have nearby that it could get into and are dark and not likely to be disturbed. Checking under and behind any seating thats near the tank might also be a good idea.
