Message: <blockquote data-quote="Casey K." data-source="post: 184031" data-attributes="member: 1090">I'm sorry to learn your T passed away but your friend shipped her WHILE she was in her enclosure????  Perhaps she would've survived if your friend had shipped her the proper way.  There are several youtube videos that teach you how to pack a tarantula the correct way using misted paper towel and a vial/deli container. That poor spider never had a chance being tossed about inside its enclosure the entire duration in transit.  I'm surprised our advanced keepers/dealers here failed to mention this upon reading your post.  The best youtube video and the one I learned how to pack T's by watching is Steven Stamps video.  He does a wonderful job. Spreading this knowledge is detrimental to a tarantulas health if someone is a first time shipper.  I hope you find another fur baby soon!!!  Kind regards,Casey K.</blockquote>
