Hi,
I am pretty sure Dart (my Psalmopoeus Cambridgei) has died :'( But I am posting this for confirmation. She has not moved for the last three days, and doesn't move if I touch her gently with a soft paint brush. So that I didn't disturb her if she was moulting or something, I noted that her leg was slightly over a piece of moss, so I could know if she had moved at all 3 days later - she hadn't. Sorry the photos aren't great. I got her on the 30th Sept, so I had her about a week until she curled up like this. I was crying hysterically last night - I knew that the more Ts I get the more likely it is I am going to have one die an untimely death (I now have 16, including Dart), but I am still devastated And I guess I want to know if there is anything I did do wrong so I know for future (I have posted pics of the air-holes I had put in, in case there weren't enough?).
The first few pictures are of her now, and the others I had taken of her throughout the week of her arrival.
I had noticed though that Dart was clumsy from the start - I hoped that was just a quirk, but she did move around almost as though she was drunk (stumbling and falling short distances when trying to climb). I think she ate once (offered 4 days after she arrived) - a micro cricket.
