Yesterday we found my son's P. vittata, Enn had gone to spider heaven. She had moulted behind her background and it looks as though she got stuck and still being soft had been unable to free herself. One of those cases of damned if you do, damned if you don't. We were going to take her out of the container so that the background could be glued back but she was in premoult so we left her, knowing that she could get out if she wanted to, how I wish we'd done it anyway.

My son got Enn in November 2013 as a juvenile and she has been a joy to own, never showing any aggression and so, so beautiful. She was the one that got me interested in Ts and fired my addiction. She has left a big hole in our lives already and will never be forgotten.

Enn in all her glory

I'm so sorry about Enn :( She sounds like she was an absolutely amazing tarantula.

Thank you and I'm sorry about your loss too. It's so hard when it's unexpected.

I do have a Phormictopus sp. Full Green and I have a long want list again so I maybe get a few off there when the weather warms up a bit. I'd like a couple more horned baboons.

So sorry to hear that. I lost my GBB sling today, but I had a feeling he was dying.
