Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arachnoclown" data-source="post: 140794" data-attributes="member: 27444">This will be a sad entry about a handsome mature Male that matured too fast to even mate. I recieved this Male from [USER=24627]@WolfSpider[/USER] to mate with my female and a couple of my friends. Jason shipped him out to me from clear across the country...one ocean to the other. When I recieved him he was packed well and in great shape. My female just molted so I started feeding her so we could pair them soon as possible.[ATTACH=full]33604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33605[/ATTACH]This morning I woke up and got things ready for the pairing. When I picked up the enclosure for the Male I instantly noticed something wrong. He was in a full death curl. Just 3 days ago he made a new sperm web too. I'm completely floored by this loss. He was a extremely chill spider and I looked forward to having his offspring in my collection. He fully matured in 15 months...that's crazy fast. I gave him a warrior's funeral. Rest in peace buddy.[ATTACH=full]33607[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
