That's his swimming pool.
The thread may be old, but that is what we tell people to do....use the search function. The user who just posted a picture of their sling did just that, and found an old thread of a similar nature to ask their current question. That's part of the purpose of the search function. If we want people to search, we need to not give them a hard time when they bump old threads (when they bump them "properly" that is).Cool....an eight and a half year old thread
Picture would help in this situation.Hi guys! My b. smithi is in bad shape (IMO) and I am worried. It hasn't moved in over a week and is unable to hold itself up. I have only had it for 2-3 weeks. The store is willing to replace it but only when it starts to decay. It doesn't smell yet but doesn't look real good either. I flipped it on its "back" today to see if I could get a response by putting a droplet of water on it's fangs and again, got a zero response from anywhere on the body including fangs. Has anyone else had this problem? Please help if you can!
Any possibility of a parasite that came out then dug the hole?That doesn't look like an exuvium to me.
According to post #40 in this very thread, it's also okay to use the Search Function, and add questions/knowledge to a similar topic. Kind of a one-stop-shopping for IDing possible dead spiders, no?This thread was started 11 years ago... It's ok to start new threads.
Idk why but the wicked witch from the wizard of oz just popped into my head and then the picture of a smithi in a pool of water hissing "I'm melting, I'm melting, oh what a world....."Also, Brachypelma species will not kill over if there is some water in the substrate. Prolonged exposure to high humidty may cause discomfort and cause a lot of activity as they attempt to find better living conditions, but the added moisture won't kill them.
