Aphonopelma seemanni mystery loss?

[Ultum4Spiderz]

Found unresponsive with very little movement.
It had a full water dish and it’s refilled multiple times a week so this is unexpected. I placed its fangs in the water dish but I’ve rarely seen recovery’s from this. No signs of injury.

I’m sorry your spider is in a bad way. Trying to tell if I’m seeing this right, but are there multiple dimples in the abdomen?

Poor buddy…. Looks like all you can do is keep hydrating. Good luck to you and your beautiful T.

Crazy thought... use bottled water not tap if you got hard water in your area.
My T, Lucky, I refilled his dish with what I thought was filtered water but it wasn't and I was thirsty too!!! Poor thing drank the whole dish and was STILL thirsty. I cleaned his dish and filled it up with water from a bottle, he drank some and was back to his usual self.
I don't know if Ts particularly care or are affected by different kinds of water, but I thought I'd share just in case!!

Multiple times a week sounds like it could be wicking out...is it too damp in there?

What's the aversion to hard water?

City water is more of a concern to me with its additives. I put mine through a high quality filter.

I agree. Another option is to buy a few big jugs and fill them up at the grocery store. Where I live it's 50 cents per gallon for RO water. Worth it to me for peace of mind.

For me, I grew up with well water and for some reason when I drink hard water it doesn't quench my thirst. I don't know why. For context, I live in a city and it has a lot of minerals in it. Water is drinkable, but not for me lol

I had well water too, and it was cold, great for us. Everyone is different

I found this pic fluid of some sort coming out it’s mouth and an older one were it was using the burrow which I don’t understand why it abandoned. Any idea if this caused its demise I regularly wet the substrate but it looks a little dry in the pics above . Rip …the molt got destroyed so i could not check for sucking stomach . No plan to get another as I ran out of money, just trying to see if this pic is proof it was sick?
