Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tarantula Trooper" data-source="post: 234779" data-attributes="member: 37740"><p>I once had Brachypelma Hamorii I rescued from Pet Smart that ate great, seemed to be doing well, and flipped over to molt but never turned back over in a timely fashion! Time I intervened he/she was all but gone! Doubt there was probably anything I could've done. Since returning to the hobby I have lost a couple spiders right or shortly thereafter a molt! That Hamorii was over 3" DLS . One thing I wish I had done different was not have waited so long and maybe have tried dribbling a little water around the mouth. If it's been all day you can try this just to see what kind of response you get. I do know in my Hamorii's case I felt I waited too long to try if that helps any. I wish you and your T the very best.</p></blockquote><p></p>
