Hey all.
So I've been overseas and I came back last night and quickly checked all my animals. My wolf spider died, my two pedelings died and then I went to my adult Glenelva's tank... I've had her for six years and she was my very first T. This is what I saw:





Pretty devastated... On the other hand all my slings survived and many even shed so here are some photos.

Vulpina:




Stent's:




Papuanus:



Both my Gold's shed:




And one of my crassipes:




Pretty pleased with that but my Sarina looks like it has that white stuff my PQ113 had... Nuked her substrate and replaced her so lets hope.

Why would you think Phil's cages are terrible? They look fine to me and he has been in the hobby plenty long enough to know what he is doing.

Phil, sorry for your loss.

Hahahaha what a goose.
I was gone for a fortnight. The wolfie was fully grown and it's water dried up. My T was mature when I got her 6 years ago so she also died. Sorry my set ups are so shit they don't prevent death :rolleyes: hahahaha.

As for parasites, the only mites I have are eating the body of my dead T. Some slings look weird in the photos but upon closer inspection are fine.

Been keeping Ts for a while so I know what I'm doing thanks mate.
