Sad news. My GBB sling...the one that was in premolt for the entire time I had it (a few months) passed away today. It was about 1". The previous owner did not take care of it properly and never did the typical GBB things you would usually see like heavy webbing, etc. I got a G. Rosea from her last March. She had 3 other tarantulas besides this GBB sling. Somehow ALL of her T's died supposedly from "bad molts". However, she told me she didn't see the need for worrying about heat/humidity...hmmm..yet they are all dead except the one I bought from you and actually take the time to care for it properly. The enclosure she was keeping it in was 64 oz. sterilite container with nothing in it but topsoil. It was WAY to big for such a tiny baby (sigh) I'm pretty sure she knew the GBB was past the point of saving and that's the only reason she sold it to me. When I first met her she refused all of my offers to buy it. Either way, despite my best efforts it has passed. I used an ICU for several days and it was looking better but today I found it completely curled up and unresponsive.
With all that said, do you guys know of anyone who has a GBB for sale? Preferably an adolescent female (hopefully around 2.5-3"). I have 9 other T's of all different species but I was SO looking forward to seeing this one grow into its adult colors but sadly it wasn't meant to be. Please let me know of any sellers that may have one or two available and that you guys have worked with and trust.
Thanks a lot guys.
