My first hatchling of the season

Sorry to hear that Wolfy. Did you pull it out of the egg? Did it appear to have any major problems? If the answer to those questions is no, then don't blame yourself, some of them just aren't destined. And just remember that you have three gorgeous babies that need alot of attention.

I only removed him AFTER determining that he was indeed dead. I forgot to make that perfectly clear.

I know. I've just had a rough few days, and this was just horrid. But I'm looking at the new babies curled up in their homes(not TOO often, I have to ONLY see them twice a day so I won't simply bug the poor little things constantly).
Thanks!

I'm sorry you lost the baby. I think the other 3 will more than brighten your spirits tho :)

Wow.....While I'm so sorry that you lost one of your babies, At the same time my heart was beating, kinda like watching a story unfold reading this thread from the beginning!! I was so excited to see thie first little spider baby & then 2 more!! Then the sad ending.......But many more happy days relishing in your new additions!!

Congrats!!

Wow; I just read your thread.. congrats on those three. Awesome odds!
I am sorry about the lost one. Sounds like it is definately not your fault; nature has plans that we can't fathom sometimes, I guess.
Beautiful Spiders. :)

I feel bad for your loss...any idea on how the 4th died? Can bps drown in their own fluids?
