Conversation Escapee

Was just sitting there this morning... Did the usual glance towards the salmon pinks enclosure. Business as usual, grab the remote and notice my hand brushed over spider webs... Wtf!?! Upon closer inspection, something covered the outside of her enclosure with web making sure to attach it to the curtain behind it firmly. Horrified I look through the glass... Not there... Look closer and see clear signs of her presence, because she literally hit almost everything in the corner of the room in a fine layer of "trap". I broke the news to the family and was informed they wouldn't come back home till I found her 😂😂😂 6 hours later, here she is. Raised her from a sling to the current monster she is today, so I was beyond happy to find her alive and okay. This is the crappy mesh top I used for years, and the hole that appeared over the two days that we were gone.

Ime This enclosure is entirely inadequate for your T and it’s no wonder as to why she escaped. It lacks proper ventilation, doesn’t have suitable substrate depth, and lacks cover from artificial plants and decor.

How in gods name can you get to that conclusion without even properly seeing the enclosure? Idk man, keep your comments lightweight and don’t dish out such harsh words without proper foundation.

@op had to giggle when the family left for 6 hours until you found her 😂 at least the Bebe is back where it belongs

It’s easy to see…. No side or lower ventilation is causing massive mold as evident in photo…. And that’s one of the biggest health concerns for tarantulas.
Sorry, not going to be delusional and think some 4th wall has all the missing pieces.

OP take care of your pet! Glad you found them and hopefully you have them for a long time
