Is my Brazilian white knee dead

[RobG]

Hi, I’ve had my first Tarantula a Brazilian white knee for around 3 years I am pretty sure he is a male, and has been motionless for a day and a half now… I thought he was moulting but am now thinking he’s died

Do you have a picture of him. It’s usually pretty obvious when tarantulas pass. Death curl and/or old age.

He’s been like this for almost 2 days

Does he react if you gently touch him with a paintbrush?
He looks like a mature boy who has reached the end of his days.
If he hasn't already passed, he's very close.

Sadly boys don't live as long as girls. Around 3-4 years for this species.

Thanks for your reply, sadly he had passed away, obviously gutted as he was my first Tarantula! I’ve got an OBT and a GBB but now have an empty tank so I’m looking for another spider and I’m open to any suggestions? I quite like the Brazilian Blue…?

Sorry to read about your white knee passing It's always sad to lose a beloved spider.
Brazilian blues are nice, I have a juvenile male. Very active little spider, always out and about.

Sorry for your loss , Lasiocyano sazimai are nice looking Ts you also have Dolichothele diamantinensis if you like Dwarf tarantulas .
