Every Body has maybe left a lid off their tank and the spider has escaped or maybe not sealed a tank correctly and the animal has made a run for it.
Well i can beat those stories by a long shot how about a tarantula that actually rips thru a tank.
Ive always been a Grammostola man myself but at the 2003 BTS show i fancied a change. Everybody said go for a smithi! So always up for any chance to add a new animal to my collection i picked up a small Brachypelma Smithi which later earned the name Avarus, after how much food she ate, and housed her in a tank with a strip of mesh for ventilation.
Anyway about 1 week ago i noticed she had made a small in the mesh which i patched up and ignored.
Anyway today i looked inside her tank to find a huge hole in the meshing and her missing. Thankfully she hadnt got far and after a lil hair kicking myself and dave got her into another tank without mesh.
Although i was quite lucky to find her, we did find out that she has suffered a little scratch to her abdomen which is slightly leaking liquid.
Although people have tried may methods to stop the bleeding ive desided to keep the humidity up in the tank and hope she gets thru it all! any ideas would be great tho!
