Pan-tropical Jumping Spider death

[Ghost 123]

Hi There, Name's Wisdom And I'm From Nigeria. For A Few Months, I Had A Female Pan-Tropical Jumper. One Day, I Fed Her A Small Roach Which I Caught Running Around My Room; And As Usual, It Didn't Take Long For Her To Finish Draining The Life Out Of It But As Soon As She Did, She Went Hyper: Running Around Her Enclosure, Cutting Her Webs And Other Stuff Like That. I Just Took It As Normal Behaviour But Later At Night, I Found Her At The Bottom Of Her Enclosure Staying Perfectly Still. I Took Her Out Thinking She Needed Air. And That's When I Found Out That She Could Not Jump: She Became A "Walking Spider". I Put Her Back With The Hope Of Seeing Her Ok In The Morning, But By The Time I Woke Up, She Was Dead. I Was Wondering If Someone Could Tell Me What Went Wrong Please.

Probably a case of Insecticide Poisoning

I Would Totally Agree But I Make Sure To Keep Any Form Of Poison From Her Enclosure.

Hi There, Name's Wisdom....

Too bad it wasn't "experience"

.... One Day, I Fed Her A Small Roach Which I Caught Running Around My Room...

I lost one to a fly I caught once.

There's a chance that the roach you found had eaten something poisonous.
Do you know how old she was? Jumpers do not live long.

Sorry for your loss

Feeding Wild Caught Prey is always risky for this reason. (Toxic Food)

Her Age Is Unknown To Me Though. And My Main Concern Is The Egg Sac She Left Behind

Thank You All For Your Sympathy
