Coco foir is not a risk to tarantulas.Tarantula "blood" is called hemolymph, and it's not black or dark in color; it's more blue/green and can appear as cloudy grey/silver.A similar thing happened to the fellow on Dark Den, a very plump spider died unexpectedly. He assumed premolt when it stopped eating but then suddenly, dead. Impaction and an internal rupture claimed his beauty. Yours does appear to be in premolt.</blockquote>
