After 6 Tarantulas. 3 Slings and 3 Juveniles.
My 7th and sadly my first Old World Tarantula,instead of standing its ground bolted,right out of its enclosure i set up all nice looking,flew Right out of the tupperware i set up for escape,dodged the catch cup with a speed i couldn't anticipate coming from a Tarantula i kept getting told was defensive and now after sifting in vein through clutter,the desk and the area i cannot find this ting the size of a quarter.
It was a Juvenile Ceratogyrus darlingi
So yeah was GOING to be my first old world,i really really REALLY didn't expect that at all,it was faster than litterally any of my other T's ive housed.
So.......uhhh any advice for having a loose juvenile in my room? I feel ULTRA stupid right now
Also maybe some advice on how to prevent this from happening in the future,i was sure i did everything right. I mean i even had the napkin in the enclosure but dang the moment i tried brushing it to move it,GONE.
