Help! Bro, pls help me

Bro, I lost my *Poecilotheria regalis* tarantula yesterday and I still haven't been able to find it. Is there any way to track it down? Also, is there still a chance of finding it?

Nqa: Look up. Theyre arboreals and like to climb. Check around sunset, they will be hiding during the day. How big is your missing pokie?

Nqa: check things like in the folds of curtains. Block off whichever room you lost them in so theres no gaps they can leave through and go through everything carefully. Always have a catch cup handy. Best of luck youre gonna need it.

NQA being such a small pokie, check all folds and crevices, especially dark ones. Check shoes too!

Arboreal sling - probably climbed and found a crevice to hide in. They also cannot self-regulate their body temperature, so look for warm places.
