So sorry for your loss Rob! When I first started to get into the hobby, Zilla was one of the spiders that really made me go for it. I loved that big chica! She was just awesome.

We're sending loads of eightlegged love to all of you!

Rob,

Nothing I can say that I'm sure hasn't already been said and though words help they can never replace such a loss.

From my family to yours, our deepest condolences.

Im not the one to cry over lost spiders (or most things for that matter), but this is hard hitting. Sorry about Zilla Rob. Zilla had to be my favorite spider not owned by me. At least you had many years with her and when things got bad you tried instead of doing what most of us would of done, putting the T in the freezer or just put it in ICU and hope for the best... At least she could move somewhat in her final moments, thats a luxury most T's dont have... Sorry if this was taken offensively in any way... Im not very good with stuff like this and I had to fight off not saying anything from fear of embarrassment.
Good luck to you and your very extended family,

Cole
R.I.P One giant spider, Zilla

My condolences

I'm sorry to hear Rob. not much more to say except at least you have good memories, and through your actions we can all share in those memories. I hope you keep up what your doing for the community. You've helped me immensely as a beginner and thanks to you my T's are better off for it. All I can say is how truly sorry I am and thank you.

Hey Rob. My wife, 3 kids and I send our condolences as well. We are all so bummed! Your passion for the hobby rocks, and your love and adoration for Zilla are to be admired. On a happier note...I thought Sammy was way prettier than Zilla, so I hope she can replace the big spider void in your heart. Sorry man. Total bummer. Will look forward to more vids! (Need more crunchy BD feeding vids! "BAM!" "crunch!" lol)

Just watched your tribute video Rob. My wife cried and kids got teary eyed. I would have cried, but I had to hold it back to not cry in front of the kiddos. Do you mind me asking how old she was?

To be honest I'm suprized she made it this long. I seen youre YouTube videos and how you "handle" yer spiders. Let pokies climb walls and spiders escape. She's in a safer place now.

Wow, majorly uncalled for, dude. At times like this you keep stuff like that to yourself.

I am so, so sorry Rob. She was a great T and will be missed by many.

I wasn't gonna say anything, but... Why? Why waste your time posting such a thing when everybody else is sorry for his loss?

You really lost the chance to keep your mouth shut. :embarrassed:

When even Joe doesn't say anything as untactful as this, you know how much of a jerk you are...

Also, before you criticise others, learn to at least use proper spelling and grammar.

Sorry for the loss Rob, she was a magnificent animal.

I'm not sure if I should take this as a compliment or not...I suppose not, but I'll leave it be considering the circumstances.

Let's everyone just move on, mmmk?

Hello Rob, I regret to hear that you lost Zilla. Did you get her as a spiderling? How old was she? I have two T. blondi that I raised from spiderlings. One is nine (9) and the other is eight (8) years old. Do you think this was do to old age?

I dont know ANYTHING about that guy who made the comment.
But, wheter uncaled for, harrash, unnapropiate for the situation...
The guy has the right to have an opinion and he didnt insult you.

On top of that you insulted Joe as a freebie...so Im not sure whos the jerk here.

It was a joke. I often am not very tactful myself either (as proven here, I guess :rolleyes:).

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. I wanted to add this smiley - :} - but considering the sombre nature of this thread, I didn't. I have absolutely nothing against Joe, I have showed that time and again, and I think/hope he knows that. ;)

Tarantuladude is just a troll. He made that account for the sole purpose of commenting in here.

Sorry for your loss Rob.
