Spiderling escaped

Hey,
I am really new to the hobby and got my second spiderling Pterinopelma sazimai and it escaped overnight... the holes where too huge. Now I am in panic mode...
I searched near the enclosure, got through the entire substrate, looked in dark corners etc. Since it's my room I sleep in I am somewhat afraid it will kick hair near me when I am asleep or other things.

As they can survive for quite long without food or water it should not be a problem to find it again but I am too afraid to sleep now. :rolleyes:
Are the hairs as dangerous when they are small? It's temper is really chill, but I just need someone to take my fear, so I can sleep again.

You should be fine sleeping, I doubt a sling is going to kick hairs at you, specifically in your sleep. P. sazimai are burrowers. There's a good chance it's burrowed itself.

Good luck finding your errant sling and welcome to the forum!
