I am so very sad today the 1st tarantula that I got Went to Valhalla.
My Grammastola iheringi Went into her molt 3 days ago But this time it was very different Instead of rolling on her back she stood on her feet And went into moult getting stuck.
Can anybody tell me if I did something wrong with my husbandry Or is this normal.
Any knowledge and information would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Hello my friend and sorry for your loss. Like every living creatures, sometimes Ts unfortunately go earlier than they should. By the pictures you can see she was settled in her enclosure and we might never know why she started the molt upright instead of on her back or what went wrong. I would definitely not blame myself even if it is easier said than done as I feel the same every time one of our Ts goes before her time.

summed up perfectly. Your T would have had a bad .old in the wild as well. Nature's way. sorry for your loss. It sucks to lose a T. We all can relate.
