So yesterday 6/7/23 I recently got 9 new slings and overnight 2 of them escaped. One of them was my Lasiodora parahybana and the another one was Tliltocatl vagan. I left them in my room overnight and when I woke up they were gone! I don't know how on earth do I find them because they are so tiny and like 1/3-1/2. Please help?

Try dark corners and remember to check inside shoes etc. One tip is to use a hair dryer on the cool setting and blow around corners etc, they don't like draughts and will run from it.

My suggestion would be to not panic and carefully look for them and be cautious of where you step and what you do both of these T's you have are terrestrial so I'm guessing they would probably want to go towards the ground and they could possibly be hiding in something I've heard that some people can find them at night when there more active.... I have had a couple T's escape from me before and I just carefully move things around to see if I can find them and watch my step I found one of my escaped T's under some clothes I had on the floor lol... Best of luck too you and I hope you find them and there safe keep us updated on this.
