Suggestions on catching an escaped T

[Mike R]

I was attempting to rehouse a juvenile P cambridgei when it bolted toward a shower wall. I was dumb and assumed they sealed both top and bottom parts of the wall paneling but apparently not. The drain was sealed from the start.

Although I can’t see a gap on the inside of the bottom it must be there since after running a soft brush along the gap the T disappeared. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to encourage her to come out, like leaving my Dubia colony sitting near the panel she snuck into.

I have the room effectively sealed so I don’t really care where she goes, just so long as she’s out of the stupid wall so I can re-catch.

I don’t have experience with this personally but I would leave the enclosure open near where they escaped, they may come out for water or to return to their burrow/hide

Pray. Best of luck to you. Personally I'd go in there late at night, or just after the light has been off for awhile. See if it's out. Use a red flashlight if you have one.

What is the depth of the unpaneled shower wall? How far/deep is the gap?

Honestly, I still can’t even see the gap between the wall & the panel. The gap on the bottom is maybe a few millimeters but as far as I can see it dead ends. The thickness of the panel itself seems a couple of centimeters thick.
