well i went to check on T. "blondi" or whatever it is, to it find it, dead, it was just a juvi around 2 inches.. it was alive and well 2-3 days ago.
upon inspection it was in not in death curl, just lack of movement, i picked it up, and she/he was limp. i discovered a large amount of fecal smear across the ventral section of the abdomen and around the spinnerets.
there is a strong smell associated to the spider, the best i can compare it to is rotting wood.
im going to place it in ICU for a day or two just in case although i beleive it may be already dead, but who knows.
i had proper ventilation, humidity, and access to water.
the only thing i can think of it might of died because of room temperature, it was 40 degrees the other night i forgot to shut the windows.
im not going to post pics i lack the devices to do so at the moment.
well it sucks when one of these spiders dies, thats a lot of money down the drain, well next time ill just buy a juvie instead of a sling,
thanks for listening to my rant.
