Tarantulas and Spiders

Whelp.... Made my first mistake, thankfully it wasn't with a worse species.

My irminia must have escaped. I guess the 1/8" holes were too big for him and he musta escaped. I legit just emptied out his whole cup looking for him because i was gunna move him to a smaller vial that i bought off amazon and he wasnt in there! I setup a small "bait trap" on the shelf i keep them on and left a dead roach in his cup as well. If he shows up, awesome, if not, well he's probably dead lol. The *only* chance he's got is that its summer so my room is always pretty warm and i have the windows open on nice days so inevitably bugs get in. Maybe he'll catch a bug or two and survive til i can find him lol. :oops:

I use a 1/16th inch hole punch to make my holes for sling cups. Rich had a post on here about not using pre punched cups for slings and even had a pic of cups that he had taped over the holes. I went hunting for a smaller hole punch after seeing that. anywho best of luck I really hope you find him and not on the bottom of your shoe.

on the subject of a database for T's. not as in depth as what you are looking for but here's a couple text based data bases that you may find interesting.

Damn Mike that sucks.

Yeah an hour after I had the P. pederseni in their cups, they were all trying to get out and one did.

About 30mins after that I found him and had to make little band aids for 160 holes. :(

Look high and in tight spots.

Kinda hard to tell in the pic but...the C. darlingi has dug out a huge burrow. These guys are freaking sweet :)
