They were 2i's(about the length of a pencil eraser) and so I grabbed my UV Flashlight and searched my room for them, nothing, nowheres. I had been gone for about 30 minutes, and the tops had been left open because I had no idea they could climb that little deli cup plastic. So after about an hour of searching and nothing turning up I just sat at the computer desk wondering. Then out of nowheres BOOM I see 2 little scorpions running across my bedroom floor, so I put them back in their deli cups and put the lid back on. Then I guess the idea popped in my head for me to check under my matress, as my lower sheet w/e its called that dangles to the floor touches the ground on some spots, and whatta-know there are the other 2. That would of been a bad outcome.
Man, that is why I probably will never keep insects. Those things are way small. And if I lost one or some it would be a nightmare.

I had some Pachydactylus tigrinus - Tiger Gecko. These things are tiny. The ones I had were not full grown yet. They were about an inch if that. Well while feeding them my 7 year old cousin decided to grab one and not tell me. Later I check the cage and they were no where to be found. I wrote off my loses by the end of the day. Knowing trying to find a little thing that could be eaten by adult field crickets is almost impossible. Especially when the night temps outside are going below 65 farenheit.

About a week later I am outside the front of the house and see a tiny thing that I thought was just a bug moving on the steps. I take a closer look and there he was. What luck huh.
