Okay well this was not easy for me but i had to accept that he/she would go sometimes...
I found it in a location were my neighbours would have killed it , so i decided to give it a new home and boy we were happy together.
Here it is still alive (after the bad molt):
I am not very good with the identification so here is the first Question:
Was it S. Tegenaria or S. Eratigena?
It was called Marshmallow because i housed it in a Marshmallow container with a big rock in the middle and it liked it alot.
After the rehouse into a rectangular styled plastic container it was even better.
It molted in a very weird position, when i found it molting the legs were all crooked, 1 pedipalp was stuck and it looked very distressed.
I tried to understand what was going on but i couldn't.
The legs are abnormally long don't you think?
After the molt everything was different. The spider had lost its power, it's will if you want to say. I managed to feed it one time but i saw it striking left and right of the prey too, wich was very sad.
Monday morning i found it dying, it was dead when I returned that very afternoon...
I tried my best and at the same time I feel guilty. Maybe it wouldve been better to let my neighbour crush it with a broomstick or whatever...
Soooo anyways here are the pictures and the Questions:
Does anyone know or understand what was going on?
Am I responsible for this? (I will answer every question asked here)
How can I preserve it? (It's currently in my fridge, the non freezing part)
Thanks for reading along, 8-legged cheer from Germany!
//edit;; if the pics are to blurry i will try to make better ones just call me out
