    This summer one of my Aphonopelmas escaped. I thought I did a pretty thorough search, but to no avail. For a couple of weeks afterward I habitually checked every corner of every room that I entered; I listened for any sound that could be my poor spider; I checked inside my shoes before I put them on. By week 3 I gave up and figured it was a goner, probably killed by one of my dogs. Then, 21 days after escape, I opened a drawer under my bed and there it was! My bedroom is on the opposite side of the house as the spider enclosure. It seems that for the better part of a month I was sleeping with a little monster under my bed! Yeah, it was thirsty and hungry, but it was a great relief to get a happy ending.

      Yea similar thing happened with my snake. She’s a corn snake tho so not really as big an issue as a tarantula as she doesn’t bite or anything and is super friendly. Looked everywhere for her an figured I must have thrown her out with the rubbish as I put that out a day or 2 before I noticed she escaped. Then 6 weeks later I’m sorting out the recycling and out she pops from under it all or the cupboard behind it. She jus popped her head up right in front of my face as if to say “hi I’m back!! Now feed me please” she must have gone on a right mission looking for food lol as it was due her time to be fed when she escaped which is probably why she went “walk/slither about”.
      I’d literally just got used to the fact that she was likely gone an I wouldn’t see her again then bam, there she is.

      @@herbalterrorist420Same thing with my King Snake. Got out (before I could afford an enclosure with a lock) and was gone for two weeks. I accepted the guy was a goner but one day I’m watching a movie and dude just slithers right up to the couch. I like to think he tried being a wild snake for awhile before he realized how much harder it was so he came back to live a much easier life as a pet 😂

      my escaping pet stories aways ending bad. One time i had slugs in an terrarium wich wasnt suitable to keep animals wich can compress to a few mm diameter, but the funny thing was that they always wanted to come back! During the day, i saw them wandering around in flowerpots near the terrarium, and later they where sleeping in their hides in the terrarium, so i thought: " why dont let them have fun if they dont do any damage and always come back? " but sadly, one day, they got brave enough to leave the shelf, and they wheren't able to find the way back. So i often found exausted slugs in random places in my house, and sadly completely dried up ones. I just had no idea what i could do about them sliming this far away from home, and so they all died out after a while. This gone well for half a year before they got more brave... another one was a unbelievable tiny beetle, only 2mm, but i absolutely loved him. I know for sure he whouldnt stay in any enclosure with such a small size, but i build him a little garden in an empty plastic food box where he could rest, eat and drink, and he he always knew when it was time to go there and eat or drink, and it was just a lot of fun to find him in random places in my house, and when i thought he looked tired, i picked him up and brought him back to his garden. But yes, he died a very sad and tragic death. I accidentally spilled water on a book, and i was putting towels in it so it could dry, and i carefully stomped on it so the whater get squeezed out of the book in the towels. But when i looked for every page if it was dry, i found the beetle crushed in it. Very sad:( And i really dont know why i loved this random little beetle so much...

    Had my B. emilia escape two years ago.
    I live in a shared apartment and we searched my room in every corner and possible and not possible place and spot and hide and turned the whole apartment upside down two times.
    But she was nowhere to be found.
    I made sure my room door was always closed and had a insect net on my window.
    I checked my room everywhere twice a week and kept an eye out and listened every night.
    After 5 weeks or so, I kinda gave up but continued to listen to any small noise, that could mean, she is still there somewhere.
    After 3 months I heard a rustling in the middle of the night. And pinpointed it coming from my big box on top of my book cabinet and out crawled my girl, 2,20m high above ground.
    She was dehydrated and I placed her in a big cup with wet towels, a water dish.
    The next day she was well again and ate 2 roaches.

Last weekend I was very close to a tarantula in the zoo (the employee was standing in front of me with the spider in his hands) and I watched it - no freaking out, even taking close looks. Unimaginable some years ago. So thanks 🙏🏻

    Hi Petko! I strongly recommend, for the hammering process, of sticking the plastic parts to the glass, use a soft surface, like a cork board piece on top of your table. Surely you don’t want to accidentally break the glass. I know it’s a rubber hammer, but better be safer.

  • @Lightman0359
    @Lightman0359 2 роки тому

    If you want a more seamless join between the cut plastic pieces, you can use Acetone or plastic cement [I recommend Tamiya extra thin or plastic magic, they are thin and brush applied]. You will need to do it in a well ventilated area, but it will make the parts 1 large part, instead of 2 joined by superglue, actually welding the plastic. After it cures, you can sand it smooth and even brush the plastic cement over rough surfaces to smooth it out. This melts the plastic and allows it to re-harden.
    This trick is used in model building to remove mold lines, clean cut marks and close gaps.

    Only escapee I’ve ever had was a male regalis. All of my tanks were kept in my bedroom and he didn’t surface for 2 days. I found him nestled in the 2 inch gap between the doorframe and the wall. Looking back, maybe sleeping in there wasn’t the best plan, but all turned out well with no bites or dehydrated pokeys.

    I think the mounted skull would look better on a wall with more open space where it may be mounted properly. However, by only being able to see what you show, the only wall that I think could accommodate it would be the wall with all of the debris, which I assume is for your large terrarium that's a work in progress. I thought it would look neat on the top frame of the large terrarium, but it looks too narrow.

With mine I had to additionally secure her Exoterra since she kept probing and testing the door of her enclosure, even thought it is lockable. Now I'm thinking if this is a specific characteristic to this species since there are already some minor differences concerning the temperament.

    Because of you. And a few others... I have been working on my Arachnophobia for years. It stems from my childhood getting caught in a large web. The spider running towards me. My blood curdling screams stop the spider, and thank goodness it ran away... She was just about to put her little leg on my face I can see her fangs.
    It took the teacher, the rest of the afternoon to pick the web out of my hair.. oh my... My Arachnophobia began. Until one day I thought, come on do I have to be afraid of spiders because of that one event. I can get over this. Well it's taken me, as I chuckle 10 years... ☝️🧐🤔😂🤣😅 But I'm really proud to say. Even the spider that likes to sit up in my front door. Or the spiders that I find in the house. I have not killed them. Not one. And because of watching everyone spider videos . Y'all have helped me so much. I am no longer, completely and utterly fearful of them. I can handle them without screaming. Or freaking out. I'm proud of myself for that. Hahahaha 😆🤣
    Here's how afraid of them I was. One day I put my foot into one of my shoes I had no idea it was just a tag that had fell from an item of clothing I hadn't worn yet. Into my shoe. I screamed so loud. We had a five and a half acre. My husband was using the weed wacker. And he had on headphones. My mother always said my God you have a loud voice. Yes I do I can project. And thanks for the, singing and voice lessons mother they helped me with that voice.. Italian opera. Yes I can project..
    My husband heard me scream. Comes running all the way across our property into the house. Oh my God oh my God are you okay.. I felt so bad. Mortified from a tank top tag. 😂😅🤣😆🤔 And I knew. I needed work.
    But thanks to all of your videos. And a few others here on youtube. Y'all have gotten me over my fear. Thank you. Thank you very much.. My husband thanks you.. ☝️🥰

    I really don't think that the water noise interferes with the video at all. It's not very loud or distracting.

    Just an idea/recommendation, dont keep the Ronin outside of its case for long period of time in a humid area. The electronics can easily get funky. Coming from experience.
