HELP!! G. pulchra!!

[WhyTeDraGon]

I just received my G. pulchra, and she was in shock when she arrived, and she seems to have curled up more, and isnt moving as much.
She's in a container on moist paper towel. Im leaving her in a dark place. What else can I do, am I doing the right thing??

 

[WhyTeDraGon]

nvm, I think she's dead Gonna leave her be, and hope for the best.

I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes the trip is just too much for them.

 

[Megalodon]

that is no fun, sorry to hear about that

 

[WhyTeDraGon]

yeah, im so sad The G. pulchra was the one I was looking forward to the most

 

[Prewt]

that sux, I'm sorry. What do you think happened? Water, heat or....

 

[WhyTeDraGon]

It wasnt water, since she came in a moist container. And was also in the ICU. I think it may have been heat or handling. She never curled up, she just died on the spot. Didnt take long

I had exactly the same thing happen to a pulchra I ordered. It's pretty mince isn't it

So did you recive her like this? Did you contact the breeder or person you got it form. Was it gareenteed to arrive alive? Sorry that happened to you. Getting dead T's in the mail is no fun

She arrived in a state of shock, she was moving a bit, but quickly went downhill.
He is sending me a replacement for her next week though

My G. aureostraita arrived DOA and the breeder (scottstarantulas) was very nice and shipped me out a new one the next day.
I know its hard but know that stuff happens and I think when T's arrive DOA its an Act of God most of the time.
