Lost my first sling today.

A P. regalis. Maybe an inch or so long.

Havin’ a drink.

Molted a few weeks ago, saw her drinking recently, she'd take a cricket every now and then...not a real eager eater, but still she ate. Sub was deep and moist. She'd added some webbing around her cork bark and plant. Everything looked awesome. Nice, fat booty. Found her this morning in a curl. Stiff and unresponsive.

Bummer. It happens, I guess. Still a bummer.

Bummer indeed... even when everything is so perfect.

Sorry to hear that. I recently made a poll about various causes of death in one's collection, and one of the things that surprised me was how many people said "unknown" as a reason. It seems to happen a lot. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Sorry to hear :-( especially sucks since you did everything correctly. I had my 1st T death ~ 1 wk ago w/ 0.5" B. emelia. No rhyme or reason that I can figure.

That really sucks. I'm sorry to hear. It seems like it does just happen sometimes, even if you are doing everything right.
