Message: <blockquote data-quote="Volkswachter" data-source="post: 182367" data-attributes="member: 34028">Four 1/3'' slings have flown the coop; I used my TINIEST drill-bit to make their vent holes; but 4/5 of my slings have completely vanished from their houses.  I emptied the substrate out of all 5 containers and only one sling was found.  This is going to be controversial; probably... but I have relatively little hope in finding them, and by little I mean zero.  The rooms I keep them in are very respectably large;  it's heartbreaking to say this but I'm hoping they expire before they grow.  They're old-world; and I don't want to take a bite when I put my boots on or something in 6 months. Reasonably speaking, if one or all of them don't turn up; how long should I worry... reasonably, that they could be surviving and thriving in my hobby wing.For the record;  it's 1000000% preferable that I find them... ALIVE and rehouse them into something even more escape proof; and I might find one, but I have ZERO hope for finding all four.</blockquote>
