Death in my collection

[MassExodus]

Lost one of my X sp. white slings. Found it already dry and curled up, so it must have died shortly after feeding and maintenance a week ago. No way to tell why it died, all the other 17 new slings I have are doing fine, including the other Xenesthis. Just one of those things, I suppose. It's too bad, they're cute, bandy legged things as slings, and rather pricey, for my wallet. Everyone else is doing great.

That's a bummer. Sorry for your loss.

 

[CrypticSpider]

That is a sad loss.... my condolences.

 

[MassExodus]

Thanks folks. I'll just spoil the one I have left. I have it right in the showcase area, my desk. I'm not losing my other one, if I have to give it cpr or something I will

 

[Zurchiboy]

Sorry for you loss.

 

[Enn49]

I'm so sorry to hear you've lost one.

 

[kormath]

That sucks, sorry @MassExodus

Time to buy a few more T's to help with the grief

 

[micheldied]

That is an expensive loss! Sorry to hear, man.

 

[Tomoran]

Awwww, man...that really sucks. So sorry to hear that (and the fact that it was such a pretty and pricey sling makes it even worse).

 

[MassExodus]

Thanks all, I appreciate it. Just something that happens sometimes. I had a tiny Lp sling die on me once a few years ago, a day after I received it. With slings its kind of sad but you learn to expect it on occasion.

i might have a sling dying on me today, too. i'm hoping it's struggling with the molting, s/he is one of smallest sling (1/4") while all of them are 1/2-3/8" already i have right now. it's nhandu chromatus, but i still have other chromatus slings to take care of.

That's not good. I hope it pulls through!

Damnit kormath, stop encouraging me I already have barely enough room to move in my own bedroom..for some reason I'm extremely resistant to keeping my collection anywhere else

I agree! I keep my tarantulas in my bedroom too!

 

[Nunua]

Sorry for your loss, but good thing you have another one to guard

I should cheer up considerably when my scorpions get here today
