[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 158194, member: 29302"] Little escape artist, eh! Don't feel bad, you are not the first person this has happened to and you won't be the last. Hopefully, if you didnt managed to free him, you placed his container instead a larger one (just in case he does wiggle out) before having to go to work. Just a little tip for future though, when working out the size of the vent holes ignore the legs and abdomen and concentrate on the size of the prosoma (or head). The holes have to be smaller than that. For my slings I use a seam ripper from my sewing kit to poke holes. You can heat it up to make it easier and the holes will be slightly larger, and should be fine for your slings. I didn't heat it for my smaller 1cm slings enclosure. When not heated it kind of makes pin sized holes. You could use a heated paper clip instead. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
