While rehousing a number of "Chinese Giant" Scolopendra, (shameless sales plug) one got away from me in the bathroom. I didn't think there was anywhere it could go as it scampered under the counter and into a pile of my Victoria's Secret unmentionables. When I finally stepped down from off the toilet, I carefully went through each silky piece but to no avail. The only place it could have gone was a .25" crack in the elegant vinyl floor tile leading into the back of the cabinet somewhere. At this point, I'm thinking about just caulking that sucker in eternal hell. Probably plenty of silverfish and lateralis to eat in there.

Chances are it can get to more places from there.  But, since its the floor tile, maybe its stuck against the subflooring.  
I would seal off the cabinet and take out everything in there ...put a box full of moist substrate in there and hope she takes the bait.

i think that's probably the best use of a radio edit i've ever seen.
