Lost my sling

[BillsSpider]

Not really a question, just feeling super bummed. My B.boehmei sling that I've been waiting so long to molt got stuck in her molt and passed, wasn't much I could do to help her.

Bummer...sorry. If you would like a critique of your set up, post some pics. Just to make sure there isn't any husbandry issues that need to be tweaked.

I appreciate the offer but I know what the issue was, she wouldn't eat for months and then stopped drinking so she didn't have enough internal moisture to lubricate the molt and got stuck Had a great big water dish right next to her

So it appears that she is not only a zombie and still alive but she is not the B.boehmei I purchased but is in fact a B.emilia now to see if I can get the stuck exuvia off

She's 99% out. Absolutely zero reason you've lost her.

She was completely unresponsive to any stimulus and in a death curl for hours

A moult for a tarantula is extremely tiring. Dangerous and tiring. After they moult they're absolutely exhausted. Being on their back with their legs tucked in not moving is normal and natural. It's NOT a death curl.

Imagine you've ran a marathon and then had a pro wrestler throwing you around. You'd be knackered and not be too keen to move.

I realize, I made a rookie mistake even though I've been keeping for several years. She fooled me, but at least she is alive and I'm working ways to get the molt off

Stop monkeying with it. No more flash shots, no help with the exuviae and this point. Chill!
