ok... so i was feeding all my arachnids today, and when i get to my third m. martensii (instar 3), it simply isn't in its container!
since there are no visible burrow openings, i decide to pour out all the substrate into a larger container and sift through it.. but still, no sign!
thus, even though i have no idea how it got out, (squeezing out of the airholes which look too small to be squeezed through is my leading theory at the moment), through process of elimination, i have decided that since it is not in its container, it must be outside of its container! i.e. in my room.
the question we come to: is it at all possible to locate such a small (~0.75") scorpion in a large room with cluttered closets, lots of furniture and a large rug?
i mean, i've kind of checked in the warmer regions of the room, but its so frickin' small, i might have missed it!
thanks!
