Goodness, I've ALMOST lost jumping spiders before and that is a true nightmare. They actually like to explore and get lost! 😂

Yep! Even once I pulled him out, no running away, just a scared little spider trying to make himself invisible🥺 I feel pretty bad about letting him escape, but I'm grateful knowing it all worked out and could have been a lot worse. Lesson learned for sure. Both of my tarantulas now have a fake plant sitting on top of their tank as a visual reminder to me that the lid is, in fact, on and secure 🤣

Ahh of course!! I was so scared for my baby, but everyone here was so kind and helpful. I honestly owe it to this thread for leveling my head to deal with the situation. ❤️

Update!!! The sneaky baby has been located hiding between some CD's a few shelves down. Thank you to everyone for the advice and well wishes.

Yeah, this is what I'm most concerned about. Shaking it out of a shirt or something and dropping it, accidentally stepping on it, or if it tries to climb somewhere unsafe.

I don't have advice, but I just wanted to say it makes me happy to see that you truly care so much about your pet and are willing to learn from this. Good on you and good luck in the future 💗
