Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mygalomorphic" data-source="post: 200034" data-attributes="member: 37369"><p>I bought an almost pin head sized B. albiceps in 2018 and it just got to be about 1/4 inch. Today is feeding day so I took the enclosure from the shelf and was setting it down on the table and the enclosure slipped from my hand and fell on the floor. I have absolutely no idea what happened. I found the T about 7 feet away from where the enclosure fell with a completely ruptured abdomen. Such a horrible freak thing to have happened. I feel so stupid but I honestly cannot think of how I could have done anything differently which almost makes me feel worse. The thought of starting over with another tiny guy and waiting 3 more years just to get to a 1/4 inch is disheartening.</p></blockquote><p></p>
