obt sling dead.

[Rich Kaminski]

The little sling I got died. It looks like it webbed itself in. The strange thing is it shrunk, the spider was in a clear pill bottle with air holes. This one I had only about 3 weeks, it ate a few small crickets, then it had 2 wrapped in web. I wonder if mold did it in? The substrate was a strange mix of material I could not make out.there was a slight odor, but it could have been from the spider decay. The obt came from a pet shop, the size was about a quater inch. My other slings are doing great, the p. Red, walks for miles around its deli cup.

Sorry to hear this Rich.. Always safe to rehome any Ts you get from pet shops(they dont take very good care of 'em, and the bedding is usually gross)... Could of been mold.. That will kill a T..

Aw that's too bad, I'm glad the others are doing well. I always re-home mine as well, pet shops are not known for taking great care of their Ts.

Unfortunately, in this hobby, death happens. Buy from reputable sources, and always make sure you know what your animals are on(sub wise).
If there was Mold, then you have a humidity/Cleanliness issue in that container.

Oh what a shame, so sorry for you Rich . Looks like I was really lucky with Dakota.

Kenny, the way you have the slings set up is perfect, the substrate is still moist, after 2 months, your mixtrue is perfect, I was going to change out the obt, but it was too late. When I get some extra cash, I will come see you kenny.
