I felt T blood for the first time today

[smof]

My housemate had an accident earlier today. Something fell over, hitting the wire to his heatmat and dragging two T tanks off the shelf. His B. vagans was ok but his big female G. rosea wasn't. I scooped her off the floor and discovered she was bleeding from the side, where her opisthosoma meets the prosoma. Got T blood all over my hand, it's weird how it feels so cold, even though I know they're cold-blooded. We tried to stop the bleeding with flour and I think it worked. Just gotta wait and see for the next few days and maybe glue her up. Hope she is okay because she's such an awesome spider, as close to a pet as they get. It all kind of sucks really

I hope she will be ok.
I know rosies don't like water but make sure she has a full water dish at all times. Maybe even move it/her closer to it so she can drink.
good luck

yeah I read some where that Ts can replace up to some insane amount of their blood with water.
