New T mid molt when opening

That's rough man. I hope the little thing makes it through, and I hope this seller will do what's right and send you another.

 

Man, this is sad! I'm watching this thread and rooting for the little guy!

 

It's been nearly a week. The seller has had plenty opportunity to respond with a proposal, instead of waiting to see if this spider makes it. It is bad manners imo to wait and see if the spider makes it, like @Jason B mentioned. Something like an apology doesn't take much...

 

TBH the seller should never have sent the T in the first place.

I'm rooting for the wee fella as well, a damn shame and a disgrace from the seller.

100% @Andrea82 I was just about to post the exact same as yourself, a week and neither an apology nor an explanation, just not good enough.....I so want the T to make it, despite my previous post, which was out of concern for the suffering he's endured.

Come on fella you can do it........

 

I really hope she turns around. The seller sucks.
As long as there is some movement and no smell or deflated abdomen, I'd keep trying, but that is me. I don't think anyone could fault you for not doing enough at this point, whether you choos to stop the intensive care or carry on.

 

So true you've done so much to help the poor wee fella, you can't blame yourself as I'm sure you already know, these things are unavoidable when sent in pre-molt, your commitment has been relentless, sorry it has come to this, as I said the seller should hang his head in shame, has he/she been in touch with you yet. I commend you in all your efforts to remedy the situation. Wishing you all the best pal.

 

I'm so sad about this bad news, you have tried all you could, but it didn't help . Such a terrible first step into this wonderful hobby shouldn't be and much less because of such an irresponsibly behavior of this vendor.
I hope he will now refund your lost and you can restart with better experiences.

 

Aw, that sucks, I'm so sorry you lost her.
You've done absolutely everything that could be done for her. I hope the seller will come through with something, at least a partial refund to make up for the loss.
There's no hurry to get another one, you just take your time. I can imagine this situation has an impact, so take it easy.

 

I'm sorry for your loss (and especially that it was the Grammostola pulchra).

Since it was the seller's error to send a tarantula that was in pre-molt, I would hope that he would either send you another pulchra or refund the price of that tarantula so you can find another one.

 

That sucks mate, you gave it 110% as we can all see. So sorry!

 

So sorry for your loss, dude!
I really hope the vendor sends you another one, or at least gives you a refund so you can try getting another pulchra when you're ready.
You definitely did everything you could for the little guy.
I sincerely hope you have better luck with any future Ts!

 

I'm so sorry. You really went the extra mile to help this poor T and I appreciate how frustratingly hopeful and hopeless it all seemed.

 

Sorry that you had this bad experience. I hope the seller makes it right.

I don't know the seller at all, but in his defense (as far as sending it out when he did) it can be very difficult to tell when a G. pulchra is in premolt. They're already jet black, so there is no color change to go by. I thought that my G. pulchra male was in premolt many times when he wasn't, just because he had been refusing food for a while, and hadn't molted in a long time. Then out of the blue, he would start eating again. Just really unlucky timing in this case.

 

@Bhickman I've been watching this thread and I was hoping you'd get good luck I'm sorry to see that she sadly passed away

 

Aww...
