Hey rob, really sorry to hear that. She was a beauty.
It does sucks when this happens, specially on those which are special.

Get a good meassurment of her before she srinks a little, you know.

Man that sucks.

I'm so sorry to hear this Rob. I've been following these threads with a sense of dread and no helpful ideas to contribute. I know that gal was close to your heart so this must really suck for you. You have my condolences.

I feel like I know Zilla personally just because of the videos. She was kinda famous.

Unfortunately, Zilla passed away about 5 minutes ago.:(:( I checked on her about 30 minutes before that and she was still moving around sluggishly. Went back and she was completely gone. Her abdomen is now leaking but there's no wetness under her so it looks like it started leaking after she passed.

I greatly appreciate all of the thoughts and suggestions. You guys all make the hobby what it is and I thank you for your time.

Sorry to hear that Rob :(

I'm so sorry, Rob and Dani. It's a sad day. I think most people on this board probably feel as if they knew Zilla. My condolences to you both.

Rob, I think the board would love to see a tribute vid to Zilla. It would be a great send off to the hobby's most famous T.

That it is, but it always does suck.

I am making one, it was very hard not to tear up (I couldn't hold it back)...but I will still post it.

I'm really sorry to hear it, Rob.

Always admired that girl, and how you treated her like a princess.

If you need anything, hit me up.

I'm so sorry Rob. I'm new to the hobby, but after watching her videos, I was in awe. She will be missed.

Passing of a favorite.

Robc, I'm saddened to see that your big girl passed. Although it doesn't help your immediate situation, hopefully after a time of mourning you'll be able to study her and determine the cause. I've watched and enjoyed your vids on zilla and other t-related topics. Sorry to see this.

Condolences,

Terry

Sorry to hear this, Rob, such a beautiful and awesome tarantula. She will be remembered by a lot of people, arguably the most famous individual tarantula in the hobby.
