Sadly, my son forgot to secure the lid on his B. hamorii enclosure. The little sling (3/4" or so) escaped Saturday. He found him on sunday on the carpet below the shelf. It appears he fell from the shelf to the floor, and his abdomen is misshapen now, most likely damage from the fall.
We're not sure if he'll survive. My son has him in his enclosure with a prekilled roach and full water dish (and secured lid). So we'll see what happens. I told him if he hasn't moved or eaten by this evening it's probably best to put him out of his misery. He's looking at getting another hamorii sling, or maybe even a 2nd OW. He's been wanting an M. bal for a while now.

he's bummed about this one, but i think he learned to keep hte lids on tight. Unfortunately, he found his little B smithi in a death curl yesterday morning.
