Houdini

[LeahThomas]

Well, after being missing for 5 days and 2 recapture attempts (and fails), Houdini, as I've named him, has finally been put back into his pill bottle. I should probably think about some how putting a lock on that thing Having an S. calceatum loose in your room for 5 days, knowing he's either under your desk or your bed, is quite a thrill. The other 3 are doing wonderfully!

These things are lightening fast. Definitely a step up from Avics but damn, are they fun! Can't wait til the little guys get bigger and start showing that attitude

So glad you caught him! I probably would have been a nervous wreck the whole 5 days lol.

Thank you for reminding me why I'm sticking to new world T's!

 

[LeahThomas]

Haha I was pretty nervous when he first got loose but quickly realized that he's really too small to do any harm. Really, the thing is half an inch at best!

 

[BossRoss]

lol I can just imagine the *fun* that would have caused

 

[LeahThomas]

Recapturing him probably looked like a scene right from a cartoon

I had young P.Ornata go missing for a week . So know the feeling .

I know your feeling. I got my ornatas versi an 2 s. Cals also. I had a pokie on the loose but was quickly captured after racing it across the floor and back up my arm

 

[LeahThomas]

Indeed, they're quick little buggers.

 

[trailblazin02]

I can't believe u found it. They are so tiny. Like a little ball of lint lol. I was surprised how fuzzy they are being that small.

 

[LeahThomas]

I was actually really surprised I found it too. Especially since my room is a mess at the moment, AND because they are mainly terrestrial at this age. I figured he'd never climb walls, and he was lost under my bed or book shelf and would die in a few weeks. Came home from class one day and saw a teeny tiny little dark spot up in the corner of my room! Took me a few attempts to catch him but I'm glad I did. And you're right! Little balls of lint haha. Really adorable though, can't wait til they molt!
