Well after getting called out on having feeder insects in my town house, and not sure if I have to get rid of them or not. I was wondering hmmm what could make matters worse, I need more things to worry about.
So today find my 1/2" OBT didn't eat the cricket leg I left in there. Than I find the OBT isn't in there at all.
Go figure the T infamous for being aggressive escapes. It's fast, tiny, climbs, and, burrows making the possibilities of where it could be anywhere. It may have even climbed into another Ts enclosure since it's so tiny.
I guess the plus for me is they web a lot, so If I find a web I just may find the T.
I'm wondering in the wild how far off does an OBT wander from it's home, or do they primarily stay in one spot once established.
I had a KB lost for 24hrs, and I found it making a home on one of my shoes, it helped that the KB was bigger, and bright orange. The OBT is still dark.
So the odds are against me on finding this T.

On another note this is not the kind of thread I need to see first thing after buying a mature female OBT (my first one, and my first super meanie {D )

You shouldn't have to worry. It was my fault it escaped, I accidentally moved the screen that was covering the air holes on the side of the vile, and the T is so small it slipped through.

I'm acctually not to worried. :) I've just got to try and figure out how to get it into its new home.

Well... OBTs are quicker than P. cambridgei.. and I found my escaped P. cambridgei on the other side of the room lol. I don't know if they tend to wander or not, though...

I hope you find it! I wouldn't want to sleep with an OBT on the loose! lol
