RIP little buddy...

Came back from 2 weeks away and this young male B. emilia had passed. No idea why - he acted perfectly healthy, still had water in his dish, no chance of a fall, temps were fine the entire time according to my digital thermometer, and he obviously wasn't starving... Rest in peace, Blaze!
sadly it happens, though it must be much worse when its not just a little sling but a beautiful specimen like that
 
Have you turned his legs back or died the spider in this position?
I spread his legs out a little, but he was basically in this position when I found him. I'm not even sure how long he's been dead - it's not like he moved much in the first place (textbook example of a "pet rock"), but when I noticed him in the exact same position for the 3rd day in a row, I opened his enclosure to check on him and discovered he'd passed... So strange.

That’s how I discovered my S. mesaensis scorpling had died. He just didn’t move for two days. Same thing, no fall, wasn’t skinny, temps were fine, and no signs of mycosis… he just died.
