This week has just sucked! Found one of my A. versi in a death curl early this morning. I have been fighting to keep it alive for a couple weeks now, but today I lost it. I placed it in an ICU (again) as soon as I found it, and it seemed to be doing a lil better at first, but went to check on it one last time tonight and it was all curled up. Unresponsive to anything. I kinda had a feeling it would end up this way, it has not been doing good for a couple weeks, touch and go since its first molt in my care a couple weeks ago. It just seemed off after that last molt. I kept it in another room of the house for a couple weeks now, and it pulled through a couple times but not this time. I have another sling from the same seller that is doing fine, so I thing this one was just not meant to be. Its just upsetting, first Loki went now Sweetie is gone too. At least this time my fiancee knew not to laugh, and gave me hug. He already went out of his way to get me another P. Irminia to try and cheer me up. It's just been a depressing, death filled weekend.
ANOTHER sad night

I'm so sorry 
I don't even know what to say... I've lost a few in a short time frame, too and it really fails
I don't even know what to say... I've lost a few in a short time frame, too and it really fails I think what made it so depressing was I knew it was a loosing battle, but I didn't wanna give up hope that it could possibly pull through if it could just make it to another molt. I mean it would pull through and be fine and now this. Boggles the mind.

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss.
I lost a male borneo short tailed python due to a strain of mouth rot that was resistant to every antibiotic they could culture for. So long story short i ended up spending a ton of money on a snake that was worth a few hundred. But in the end it was worth it he was my favorite. Im glad i did all i could.

it was the right thing that u should not give up with your sling.......even though if u know the end u shouldn't give up becoz thats what being a tarantula keeper means ...not to give up on them.....we are not just taking care of them we are preventing all of them to die out so u should not give up even if it hurts.....but in the end we should accept that they are only mortals like us.......and a day will come when some one dies...and that day is the day when ur sling died.....all of us are born to die......sorry for ur loss....i really am
