    Question Regarding Preservation of Deceased Tarantula

    Maybe for next time, you could try casting it in resin. My fiance has preserved hundreds of spiders, insects, and small fish this way. Some of the color fades over time, but it's a great way to display them, especially for smaller specimens.

    My Xenesthis immanis became sluggish and died.

    When they're in premolt they're more at risk for injuries. I agree that this was probably an internal bleed. Sorry for your loss :(

    Has anyone here ever had an accidental death happen by their hands?

    Nobody is perfect. We're all human, and everyone makes mistakes eventually. I know how much it hurts to lose a spider though. It's amazing how attached we get to them. Sorry for your loss :( .

    Jerusalem Cricket Care

    My fiance brought me home a lovely gift that he discovered while doing field surveys....a very large plump female Jerusalem cricket. I'm not sure of the exact species, but I suspect that she may be a Stenopelmatus fuscus. I currently have her in a fossorial setup. Does anyone have experience...

    BugzUK, new invertabrate zoo.

    Awww I'm jealous! That sounds awesome. I haven't heard of anything like this in the US (well, not in my area anyway).

    DKS?

    This, and she also could be going into premolt. I've noticed that when tarantulas are in heavy premolt, their movements can seem a little more jerky and uncoordinated.

    Phormictopus auratus buried for about a month

    I have an adult female and yes, she has long premolts (often 3-4 months). I wouldn't be concerned unless she looks dehydrated with a shrunken abdomen.

    Overcoming arachnophobia

    I used to be terrified of spiders too. Slow desensitization/ exposure over time is what helped me the most. I agree that tarantulas are less scary....they're fluffy and they're cute in my opinion. Some true spiders on the other hand, like pholcids (which are pretty much the most harmless things...
