[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 163998, member: 27444"] That's when it could have lost its sucking stomach, January 4th . They only can lose them during a molt...the previous molt was October 14ish. So it was eating fine till December14th so there was no complications in October. Losing a sucking stomach for a tarantula is a death sentence...chances making it to the next molt is extremely slim. With the additional heat it may have dehydrated fast after the molt not being able to drink. The missing webbing is interesting to me. Looks as if it was trying to get some kind of nourishment. I dont think tarantulas eat their web like spiders but I wouldnt say it was far fetched for thinking it. But no one really know and it's really sad. Unless the OP still has the molt...we can see if that was the problem fairly easy. :confused: [/QUOTE]
