Are they dead

Hi Hunter!

Sorry about your Ts . It seems you might be feeling a little overwhelmed, so here's a comprehensive sling care guide I read to get started with mine:

Don't be discouraged by the criticism in the thread... just get to learnin' and you'll have more success next time .

Well, there are ways that are very clearly wrong and yours definitely was.



You were just lucky. Not every tarantula will die in those conditions but many will.



Oh, stop arguing. The way you kept the slings was by itself entirely sufficient to kill them. Some may have survived but their chances weren't good. Change your husbandry and stop looking for excuses.

I really don’t understand how that was arguing, for the most part this was a very enlightening thread and made me feel more confident with my husbandry.

Ventilation, the secret is ventilation: I will never cease to say this. Remeber the Alamo ventilation.

Now you can continue to give each other 'dislikes'

MOD NOTE

Personal attacks and bickering about ones perceptions will not be tolerated. Play nice or the thread will be closed. If you arent being helpful, dont post!

Thank you all for your future cooperation on this matter.

Sorry to those I bothered I just don’t take kindly to this type of situation. Anyways thank you everyone for the help I’m off to by a soddering iron to fix the enclosure ventilation and do a dry run befor I re purchase the slings. I saw a comment earlier about heat I use a space heater in a smaller storage room that houses all my ts and a few other pets. The room stays between 76 and 80 degrees.

Remember, Hunter my man, ventilation is key. Always. Always

Make 'treasure' of my words and you will be 'golden'.

It doesn't matter if inside the enclosure/s there's a "bone dry lover" P.murinus, C.cyaneopubescens etc or, for that matter, a Scolopendra subspinipes... ventilation. Ventilation. There's never a single valid reason for not provide ventilation.

Let's say together, and loud, this word: 'Ventilation!', and life would be better
