Double Whammy!!!!!

[Steve Calceatum]

First my precious versi dies, and now this......found my 1.5" OBT sling dead a few minutes ago while making my spider rounds. I haven't seen him in a minute, but he was out in the open and didn't run when
1) I grabbed the enclosure....usually a cause to run
2) I opened the lid........which almost always sends him diving for cover
......and .........
3) poked him with feeding tongs......

I have absolutely no idea what happened. He was alive and kicking this morning. His abdomen shows no signs of dessication, and he still had a roach in his enclosure. :wall:

Oh no! That just really sucks! Sorry for your loss.

Oh Steve *hugs* I'm so sorry hun...

Like everyone has said to me - things happen sometimes, and in this hobby (when there is no clear answer)... it can be especially hard

 

[bholmes]

Could there be some type of connection between the two deaths?

 

[Redneck]

Oh man sorry to hear this happened again.. Was that your only P. murinus sling?

Could there be some type of connection between the two deaths?

Any environmental changes? Cleaning products, etc...

Feeding changes?

Anything?

Thanks.....it was quite unexpected.....

Thank you Jairi. Yeah, it's tough trying to figure out how I killed an OBT.... :?

Could there be some type of connection between the two deaths?

That was my first thought. However, I don't see how there could have been a connection.

Thanks Tommy......yeah, unfortunately this was my only one.....

Nothing I can think of. It's perplexing when the easiest and toughest to keep species in my collection die within days of each other.

 

[MarSea222]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Two deaths back to back are never easy.

 

[Stopdroproll]

Dead OBT... must be a bad omen.

 

[ZergFront]

That really sucks!

You don't have anyone that has a grudge against you or your interests? Just curious because after all, someone's relative here threw her whole collection away like garbage.

I'm sorry hun
