[QUOTE="Prudance, post: 79308, member: 2448"] I've seen a few threads where elderly or injured tarantulas are nearing the end and would like to get some perspective on this delicate topic. I have several mature male tarantulas, two of which are showing signs of decline. They are drinking lots of water, losing interest in food and having trouble holding themselves up. It's a sad process to watch and I have done it several times before. So at what point would you consider "putting down" your tarantula? What signs would you look for? What would your reasons be? What method would you use? Or would you let nature take it's course? What reasons would you share with us for your decision? [/QUOTE]
