Hello. I've been reading your posts for several weeks now, and have not had a chance to post... until now.
I think I've lost my b. smithi.
She was in her aquarium this morning.
Last nite my boyfriend took the lid off to pull out a cricket she had not eaten all day, and I don't think he snapped the lid on as tight as it should have been. When I looked for her this afternoon, and could not find her I noticed that the small space in the corner of the lid, where a heat rock/light cord would go through was open. The lid was not clamped tight, and there was a small, but possible space.
She's a very small spider still. Very young, and very much into climbing and clinging to the lid of the tank. I have no idea what to do, or where to begin to find her if she has indeed escaped. I've got a big cat, and a small apartment that is positively crammed full of stuff, so we'll have to move a lot of things to get around the baseboards and corners of the walls.
I'm so terrified of sitting on her, or finding her in my shoes.
I have three other very happy, very healthy T's of all ages and species, and this is the first time we've ever had such an emergency.
Thank you!
