Goodbye, Tonks........

[hoverboy26]

It is a sad day. My favorite tarantula Tonks, an Acanthoscurria geniculata died this morning. She was almost 8 years old. She hasn't eaten in a couple weeks, and was starting to curl up last night. I picked her up, and she would hardly move. This morning, she is dead. I will miss you Tonks. Thanks for the good memories. My kids will miss "daddy's spider".

My condolances.

 

[hoverboy26]

Thank you. Who'd a thought you could get so attached to a tarantula??

 

[Motorkar]

I know how you feel.... I get attached to all of my pets!

That blows. Any plans to acquire a Tonks Jr?

 

[hoverboy26]

Yeah, I will definitely get another. She was awesome though. She was actually a class pet in a 5th grade class for a couple years, the most docile whiteknee I have every handled. My 4 year old would ask me to get her out so he could hold her. Do you have some T's you are selling?

Hoverboy, Sorry to hear. Hope you're able to find another genic shortly.
