Goodbye GBB

[johnny quango]

Today I've said farewell to my adult female Gbb, I've had her almost 6 years she was a wild caught adult when I received her so there was no telling how old she was.

I started noticing around 5 months ago she seemed to be slowing down in her feeding,climbing and general movement so I suspected she wasn't going to be around much longer. I had a similar experience with an adult female Nhandu I rescued a few years back when she was coming to an end. My Gbb was one of the original 3 I bought when I came back to this hobby the other 2 were my adult female G pulchra and my now mature male B emilia so soon I'll be down to just my pulchra from the start

It’s always a bummer. I’ve not seen wild caught GBBs before. I’m sure availability was quite different 6 years ago though.

Sorry for your loss.
Do you plan on preserving her?

No I won't be preserving her as I am a firm believer that if we take something from the earth we should give something back, She's actually been buried in the garden (under the apple tree)
