[QUOTE="Jenniferinfl, post: 202618, member: 37398"] I don't think so with this one, it was very shy, it would sprint out and grab a fruit fly and sprint right back into its' web tunnel. It was one of those only out of the tunnel to eat and only a few minutes after I'd closed the lid back up. I've been the only one taking care of the tiny ones and I'm pretty careful. My spouse isn't always great with the lids, but, he's only interested in the larger ones, he wouldn't have even touched the shelf this one was on. It was in an Amac box with 1/16" holes, so shouldn't have been a way for it to escape. All my little spiderling enclosures are in a glass display case so they don't get accidentally knocked over by a cat or something. It was definitely very fat for its' size last I saw it and definitely due for a molt which is why I didn't think anything of not seeing it for a few weeks. But, still, it was tiny, the little husk of it could still be in the web tunnel, it's just too tiny to find. Oh well, it's not hurting anything to leave it for another few months just in case- but, I'm thinking it had an issue with the molt or something and then got eaten. [/QUOTE]
