Message: <blockquote data-quote="tomervayn" data-source="post: 235045" data-attributes="member: 48834">Hi my sling  brachypelma has closed his enclosure around July last year and 3 months ago he opened his hidden area without coming out, I dropped a worm in the area and 1 second later it was gone I guess he took it inside since I took my eyes of for a moment only and the worm was dead so few days later he closed his place again and since then I have not seen him at all, I try to drop worms in the area of his water and leave it for few hours but nothing…Is there a chance that he’s dead or should I let him be till he gets out? I’m scared that he tried from cold or something but I don’t want to scare him and pick up his house suddenly Thanks for the helpHe’s about 1 - 2 years old, pretty small and the first time I’m in the molting business</blockquote>
