Lost Tokay...Help!?

cee4 Jun 06, 2007 05:38 PM

Okay I was cleaning and the little bugger jumped clear across the table onto the TV.He ran down the tv and is now inside it.Its one of those large screen projection type tvs.I have no idea how to even begin to coax her out,she is not tame at all.

BTW this tv is my sons not mine so taking it apart isnt really an option unless I can get him to agree and help.

is there anyway you can seal off the tv and maybee put a pvc tube connected to a 10 gl with some crickets in it then wait at night. make sure there is no duct tape exposed to the inside cause that would mess it up pretty bad, or take the tv apart and fish it that way

if its quiet and dark enough the tokay will come out at night to look for food. If youre sure its in the tv you can use adult crix(they make noise) in a deli cup or critter keeper and place it on the floorclose by the tv. I've caught several this way by hearing them bashing into the container with the crix in it with their nose. Youll hear the tap tap tap. Now you can try to catch him, see where it goes and keep from reentering the tv. as long has the tokay was healthy it can survive a lot longer than you would think. also don't be surprised if its moves from the tv to a different location at night when it goes on the hunt. good luck.

He got clear into my sons room.Lucky the cats didnt get him.He kept hearing something scrabbling around his shelves and flipped on the light and sure enough there he was clinging to the wall.A little dehydrated but not to bad off..
