As of looking around last night there was no reaction to some gentle prodding, so my guess is that it is dead at this point We flipped it right side up and there was no movement either. I'm wondering if it was too much humidity, we were spraying the side of the cage to water every couple of days as it dried up a bit...

Trying to take it as a learning experience. Sad to lose such a pretty tarantula, but it doesn't mean we can't get another and try again with a closer eye on the setup and animal
