I am crushed

I was checking my babies today. I opened my spider's cage and thought "he sure is in a strange position". His head and neck looked like they where in a knot. I touched him and nothing. He is dead. I am so crushed. I don't know what to do. Everyone else is healthy. He was eating fine, drinking fine, pooing fine. then wam he is dead. I don't know what to do. I guess there is nothing I can do. My dream of bees died with him. I am crying so hard right now I can barely see to type.

Have any of you had something like this happen? I don't know if he could have gotten stuck, or what.

Was this a baby you produced or purchased?

She got the animal from me.

awww man I'm sorry for your loss...

Thank you, Ed, for that vote of confidence.

I appreciate it.

I am so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy.

The one thing to remember is that you are dealing with living animals that from time to time do just die. I remember hearing on Reptile Radio last year Dave Barker talk about he was cleaning cages and hear this commotion in a tub. Look in the tub and a VPI snow was freaking out and just die. He figured it had a stroke or a heart attack.

I know your upset right now at the loss of your spider and it sucks to the N'th degree. But unless there is an obvious reason this might just be a once in a life time freak occurrence for you .

I hope you find comfort soon and peace with time.

That is very true. It is sad and unfortunate, and I'm sorry it happened, but don't beat yourself up. It was surely something you had no way to know of, or no control over. Some just get wired wrong in the egg. We have no control over that.

Awww, :(

I'm sorry you had this happen to you. :hug: :tears:
