This is not a celebration, this is sheer stress. Earlier this evening, I was pulling a bolus from a vial that I kept my L. mactans baby @1/8 inch and as I was pulling out the bolus it bolted out of the vial onto my hand. I got it back into the vial after about 3 minutes of trying to catch it and as I was putting the cap on the vial I didn't realize it bolted up to the cap right under the lip of the cap and I accidentally squashed it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />. I felt so horribly heartbroken and I was kicking myself like I could have avoided it, I actually broke down into tears for the Lil one. Ah T family I need a shoulder, has anyone in here ever accidentally killed their spider or tarantulas? The more responses the merrier, I appreciate everyone on here.</p></blockquote><p></p>
