A youtuber called tarantula addict. Started watching out of morbid curiosity late and night and then just kinda got into it. I met him at an expo this year which was cool.
My G. pulchra was basically was a burrowing beast for about the first 6 months i had it, 6 or so inches of sub and it burrowed right to the bottom and stayed there.
No molt at all in a year, no chance of a fall as not physically possible in the enclosure it was in. I guess I'll just put it in the unexplained death category.
I was checking the T room earlier and my euathlus looked a bit odd, no death curl or anything like that but I opened the enclosure and no movement at all. Took it out with no response from the spider at all, unfortunately it has passed.
It's approx 1.5 inch, have had it for a year with no molt...
