Think my t is gone

[Ranger94]

Saw what I though was mold in my slings cage so I went to rehouse it and could not find my giant white knee got it on may 23 this year it was 1/4 sling what would y'all suggest

You have to look harder!

 

[Ranger94]

I

You have to look harder!

Looked pretty hard it wasn't mold so I just put substrate back in cage

I hope you can find the little guy. What size is your enclosure? If you can't find a 1/4" sling you maybe using the wrong size enclosure. The correct enclosure size would be a condiment cup...1oz.

Here's a photo of me rehousing out of a 1oz. Enclosure into a 12 oz. The spider in the photo is almost 3/4".

I usually rehouse slings close to 1". The 12oz. Enclosure I use until they are 2.5"-3". The biggest problem with raising slings is that people want to put them into big luxurious enclosures right off the bat. Theres plenty of time for fancy enclosures...cheap and easy is always the best.
All this info is just in general if someone else is reading and needs info. Nothing directed at you for doing something wrong. Hope you find your little guy.

I've emptied substrate out into a box, gone through it with a soft brush 3-4 times and not found a tiny sling then suddenly there is a small movement and the little monkey is sitting looking at me . In other words don't give up.

Thanks for your help my wife put him in a cricket container I told her it was to big but didn't want to stress it out to bad I put two crickets in there and one was gone the next morning that was a couple days ago so he may still be in there but like I said I though I saw mold but it wasn't so I put substrate back we're it was

How big were the crickets and were they alive or pre-killed? Also, if alive, was the second cricket still in the enclosure when you started checking it for mold? I'm asking this only because crickets are vicious beasts and can easily kill and eat even a bigger sling.

 

[Ranger94]

They we're pinhead and yes they were alive and yes on was still in there when I though I saw the mold

 

[menavodi]

I still think your spider is still in there

 

[Nunua]

They we're pinheads

Then no problem. Just wanted to be sure

 

[Turtlynne]

Are there holes in a cricket cage big enough for sling to escape?

 

[Ranger94]

No

 

[spodermin]

You're not going to believe this, but I found it!

 

[Ranger94]

Ha ha ha ha

 

[spodermin]

Ha ha ha ha

I told you you weren't gonna believe it

 

[Ranger94]

Still mad I can't see him or her

 

[MassExodus]

Its probably burrowed and covered the hole. Be patient.

 

[nedaK]

Still mad I can't see him or her

Probably because it’s with @spodermin

Seriously though it most likely did what @MassExodus said.
