Came home from work and checked the spider room because tomorrow is feeding night and I wanted to gut load some roaches of differing sizes. As I was looking over the enclosures I noticed that my G. pulchra has completely sealed w/ substrate both entrances to its hide. This spider never even used the damn thing till now. Its must be getting ready to molt. Looking forward to seeing it when it reappears.
Very sad morning . At some point during the night my C. versicolor tried to molt and got stuck and died. I have no idea how such a small sling got stuck, but from looking at its position it looks like it didn't have enough pushing force to do the job. Super upset as this is my favorite tarantula species. Hopefully I will be able to find another one come spring time.
I saved the spider from death! It is missing both pedipalps and a front leg. I cannot believe I was able to save this spider with so little loss. Picture is its first meal ( just now) since its rescue.
I stuck the dead roach above the water dish and if you look, you can see a leg where the spider used brute force with its legs and fangs to drag it up. Picture is blurry because spider is moving : /. The blue object next to the moss in the middle of the cork bark, is its worthless leg that it tore off.
