I'd checked most of my Ts earlier in the evening so my 1st thought was that it must be a house spider. Imagine my surprise to find my adult S.calc up the wall at the opposite end of the room to his container. Luckily he was easy to catch and soon back in his container.The puzzle was and still is how he got out. His container had a guillotine style door which is impossible to leave open and it was 2 days since I'd opened it to top his water up.</blockquote>
