So I haven't posted on here in a while, so I guess this is an update/bad news dump? Freya, my P. Audax, died a few days ago. I suspect a bad molt because when I looked at her closer, I noticed her carapace was cloudy, as if she was ready to molt but couldn't.
Anyways, that morning my sister found a huge wolf spider in the front room. I caught her and gave her an enclosure, complete with "sifted dirt" I collected from an "untainted" part of my yard. I named her Mozag, and she seemed happy. I noticed her abdomen was huge--and I mean HUGE. Of course, I was like "Either she's eaten really well or she's pregnant."
So I did research on caring for pregnant spiders, and I came to the conclusion that she was indeed pregnant. She was doing well until this morning, when I found her dead with a strange, slug-looking goo coming out of her abdomen. I didn't get pictures because I was so shocked and buried her before I even thought of it.
Does anyone know what happened to her??
