Well I've no idea what T that will be and probably couldn't tell you anyway as I'm rather new myself lol. I'm barely starting to be able to pronounce the names of most of the species. Sounds like the little T you have there has a chance to become big enough to be identified in your care and welcome to the forum. Can't even begin to tell you how much I've learned here in the short time I've been here! Looking forwards to seeing more pictures in the future and learning what ya got there!

Welcome! Please stick around so you can provide the best possible life for this little one who is obviously lucky to be alive. Thank you for giving them a home.
They look similar to my E. campestratus babies, but, as the others have mentioned, could be a number of different species. If they do end up being an E. campestratus, they are lovely and very appropriate for beginners.

You should leave the house immediately, and call an exterminator. I've been researching to identify the species, and I believe that was an S. calciatum sling, the deadliest spider in the world..Get out of the house, please! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET OUT! Go to the nearest Taco Bell and report back here. We need a plan..

I'm sorry, that was so not funny, I was drinking with friends..it's not an S calciatum.

I hope you find them. This is what you can do with KK's to prevent them from getting out. That is a nylon stocking that the lid is in.

Unfortunately, unless you're able to find them, they probably will die. Check everywhere because people have been able to locate them - even spiderlings.

Start with the area directly around the cage and spread out from there. Also check by the windows. Were the windows open?

Well after searching the room and packing everything, it is nowhere to be found.. 
Our windows are always cracked at the bottom due to the house being unlevel so it may have made its way outside... Or into my room, which my husband is not thrilled about lol
I will be back to the forum though because you guys were extremely helpful and we will definitely be getting another (that we actually know what it is) after we settle into the new house, but ill make sure to put a stocking over the lid this time!!
