nbsp My tarantula got loose/escaped inside my house. How do I locate/recapture it?
  For terrestrial species start looking under furniture or anything else on the floor that the tarantula could hide under with a good flashlight. For arboreal species start looking around the ceiling area and behind pictures and bookcases or anything they could hide behind on the wall areas. Either way if you don’t find them immediately don’t give up hope, I’ve had customers find their loose pet tarantulas alive and well weeks after escaping. One customer has even had a female Curlyhair on the lame for a year, she found it living by the waterheater eating passing insects. One other technique that some people have found has worked is to leave a shallow dish of water on the middle of the floor in the room the tarantula escaped. Leave the room dark and wander back in around 2AM and turn the lights on. The tarantula might be sitting by the water dish awaiting recapture.
