I went to a reptile convention a year or two ago, and a man was selling these scorpions named Egyptian Yellow scorpions, I had never heard of the species but was intrigued by it since I'm egyptian myself. Anyways, i had a few years with arachnids raising different slings of tarantuals and empereror scorpions, and not once did any of them escape, so i took my chances and did my research on the Egyptian Yellow scorpions and found out it was really the death stalker, I took extreme precaution to make sure not to get stung, and made sure the cage was secure every time i opened it, anyways my roommate entered my room and left the door open and my cat took the chance and knocked over the tank and left just enough room for the tarantula to escape, on top of that my room is trashed because i had been looking for my credit card that i left on the counter, so there is a lot of debris that the scorpion could possibly be under, I'm positive that the scorpion would still be in my room because from my understanding of arachnids in general is that once they find a good hiding spot they usually dont leave it, and stay in the area, Precautions im doing thus far are keeping my dog and my cat outside of the room at all costs, I'm not to worried about myself because im a healthy adult but im positive it would kill my pets. Wearing shoes in the house, but i just dont know where to look because none of my arachnids have ever escaped, should i buy a black light and turn off the lights and search for the scorpion or... what should i do?
