P.Cancerides escape

[christin]

So I get home this morning and from across the room I see that the lid to one of my spider cubes is open. My little P.Cancerides popped the top of and escaped. I found her quite easily and today I rehoused her into a larger locking cage....but, oh my what a scare. Don't know how she managed it, but I have one more larger P.Cancerides to rehouse tonight.

All of the "escaping T" stories helped alot. I found her not too far from her cage on the floor in a little nook. No problem.

Has anyone ever intentionally set up a little "nook" stratigically placed, on purpose? To create a safe dark place for a T to hide incase one does escape?
Not that I'm planning that again, but just curious.

That sounds like a good idea but in my mind would only really work if your T room is void of any furniture...I've only had one escape, but I was right there when the bugger snuck out the side while I was cleaning her house..so I "stratigically" placed my hand infront of her and put her back in.

it opened its keeper?

reminds me i should put a locking lid on my salmon pink's tank sometime in the near future ;P

I have an amazingly cheaper idea...DUCT TAPE!! woot. Solved all my non-exo-terra enclosure problems ..them lids don't come off now^^

Tape, yup. that's what I'll do. I have four three more that are in the little cubes. To answer the question above, it wasn't a critter keeper. I keep little T's in the 4x4 lucite cubes that you can get from the craft store, after drilling holes of course. I just neerthought they would be able to get out. I'll tape 'em
