An adult Aphonopelma New River I was expecting arrived dead today. If it wasn't leaking fluids, I would have thought it died from excessive heat. It's around 80 deg F here now and it came with a heat pack.
What bothers me is that the T was physically packed just fine. It came in a pill bottle wrapped and cushioned in paper towel. Yet, there was this brown substance all over the inside of the paper towel. It was clearly leaking from a part of the abdomen where it meets the carapace. It had to have been thrown around pretty hard to sustain the damage that it had. This was the carriers fault, so a refund isn't an option. It's so disappointing.
I'm just venting. Thanks for reading.
