After watering my friends tarantula collection (Daves in florida for 2 weeks, the lucky sod! ) and tending to mine ive discovered that i suffer from a thing i like to call IKLP
IKLP or Invertebrate Keeper Lid Paranoia is apparent in 2 seperate ways:-
1. Double, triple and checking over and over that the lids of your pets are securly fitted everytime you feed, water or mess with the tanks at all.
2. Placing heavy objects ontop of lids to make sure the invert cant lift the lid.
I suffer from the first symptom all the time even ring my parents, while im at work to double check the lids even when im like 99.99% sure ive shut the tanks right. The second one i really only suffer from when i have new pet or a new tank and it only last a few weeks when i eventually reolise that my new g.rosea spiderling doesnt wanna let alone try to move the heavy glass lid, and the piles of books and other heavy stuff really dont need to be there! LOL
So is it just me going mad or do other people suffer IKLP?
Also i was wondering if anybody has had any unique experiences with escapes? im lucky ive on only had 2 and both were easily found, one on the top shelf of where i keep my tarantulas and the other sitting happily above me on the ceiling while i slept LOL.
