LMAO! I had a snow corn I named Houdini that little snot escaped from just about everything. I had him in a 6qt shoe box with a lid inside of a 15 qt with a lid and shoved into a rack. he was in there when I went to bed around 11 pm and was gone by 6 am when I got up. I found him 2 days later in the rat room hiding under the trash can.

It's crazy how some thing can escape.

Get a red flash light out a couple hours after lights out. Might come out looking for a spot to web up.

I had 3 LPs run off last night, caught them all but... After that I knew it was time for bed :p I was getting sloppy

Good luck Mike!!

Why a red flash light?

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:

Ok...so heres pics I promised. I also got some really good shots of Tigra right after I transferred her to her new terrarium. I figured Id take that opportunity, since I wont likely get another good shot of her for a looong time.

2 of mine are still hanging out and about they dont even have a burrow dug at the moment. the 3rd the one that just molted has a cool tunnel dug all the way across the bottom of his cup. I have them in a very low traffic area though so maybe they are feeling a little more secure.

Crystal thanks for the pics! I cant wait for my P irmina's to get that size! they are only about 1" maybe 1.25" and I rarely get to see them :weirdface

Jeez Damon, how many irminias did you get?? :P Yeah, Tigra seemed to make herself right at home in her new terrarium...making a web burrow right away, even showing me how resourceful she is, incorporating some of the plant leaves for the top of her burrow. I provided her with a small ceramic cave tilted on its side against the glass, and halfway in the dirt. But, she was like ,"pssshht. I aint usin dat." Oh well. :P Im sure once she molts a few more times and gets bigger, that cave will look more inviting.

Guys, don't forget to vote for the T (#5 I think) entered in HOTM......gotta support our peeps!
