I saw two times on the internet when tarantula died because it decided to molt in her water dish, but I never tought it would happen to me...
My mature female C. cyanognathus died while molting in the water dish that was ⅓ full. I saw her last night out of her burrow, standing in the dish. I knew she was in premolt and I assumed that she got out for a drink and decided to chill in there. Today I saw her mid-molt in the water but I didn't want to disturb her as I tought that she was okay since her booklungs were above the water level. Sadly 7 hours later I saw tiny flys flying around her dead body. Her two legs got stuck probably because water entered inbetween her new and old exoskelet and changed the pressure inside those gaps. I am very sad. I wanted to share this with you. R.I.P.
