A. bicegoi sling had a little surprise for me this me this morning.

What's wrong with this picture?

A little closer...

That's right, my first escape! (I feel so proud) I was about ready to rehouse this little guy and his two siblings but I suppose he couldn't wait.



This is how he got out.

I don't name many of my T's but I think this one will be called Chewbacca because he like to chewwww.


As escapes go I can't imagine one going any smoother. He made that little tube right at eye level so I saw him right away and recapture was a snap!

thats a picture for the photo album. I have never had a sling..or an adult CHEW through anything. Thats weird, Anyone else had that happen? Well congrats on the recapture and I love the bookshelf pic

 

[Boanerges]

Thats crazy!!! Thank goodness he didn't go far

 

[Moltar]

Yeah, not far at all. If you look at pic 1 his home was the shelf just below the small KK on the right, about 8" out of frame.

It's actually an amazing story, and your little guy is a keeper. I've had my big girls chew on their mesh lids, but nothing any smaller.

Welcome to the club. :clap:

It does seem odd that a sling chewed threw the screen. Is there a chance that you had a cricket in there and the sling never ate it? If the cricket goes uneaten, it might try to escape by biting through the screen. This has happened on a few enclosures, luckily I caught it before the T had a chance to escape as well.

btw, this happened on a t. violaceus enclosure and an s. calceatum enclosure 2x. How bad would it suck to have a s. calceatum on the loose? I wouldn't be afraid but its the rest of my family that would have a problem with it.

This wouldn't be the first time i've heard of a T chewing through the bars, so to speak. I've never heard of a sling doing it though. That screen isn't very tough, it's only vinyl or whatever with little fibers in it. I cut it easily with paper scissors. There wasn't any spare prey in there, btw and i feed roaches anyway.

I'm glad this hasn't happened with anything feistier than a baby avic.

Hey, I just found another baby P. murinus in my kitchen the other day! He looked well fed too.

 

[Moltar]

Lol.... you're going to be finding those things for years.

I had a p regalis chew through some fiberglass window screen a while back. Luckily I found the little @$#$ pretty easily, but it did make it half way across the house in two or three hours. It was found on the ceiling above the stairs.

happened to me once but i found out that a cricket chewed through the fiberglass screen and made an exit!

 

[Spyder 1.0]

let it live there. you wont, you wont


comeonnn lol

 

[calum]

it would be cool to have like a population of Avics roaming a spider room if it was kept at the proper temps and humidity.. make short work of any escapee roaches.

You lucky...If any of mine would have escaped they wouldn't have sticked by...

[Neophyte]

Hey it turns out this is just what happened except it was a B lateralis that chewed it's way out. I found him running around in the tub I keep my sling vials in whan I got home yesterday.

The last picture is great!
You must rummage the visitors for a file!

I have a couple three jumping spiders living in my dinning room. I brought them in from outside and they have been around for a couple of years.
