Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 84124" data-attributes="member: 4199">Checked on my Ts this evening before I headed to friends for beer bbq and fireworks.  Saw my H. triseriatus just inside his web tunnel kind of curled up and looked to be in molt.  But then i checked my logs and it had molted just a few weeks ago. Shining a light in the burrow didn't cause it to flee in terror so I knew something was wrong and with the legs curled knowing it wasn't molting, I knew he was gone.No signs if any discharge around its mouth,  nothing out of sorts in its enclosure,  no idea what happened unless the humidity got it where I'd been running the swamp cooler with the heat wave we've had. Now I feel bad joking about giving away the pet dirt box,  but not to bad,  kind of hard for me to bond with a pet I never see.  Still gets ya though.</blockquote>
