Message: <blockquote data-quote="jimbo john" data-source="post: 64602" data-attributes="member: 4260">Well said, thank you.I tried to follow all your advice, left it in a slightly humid enclosure, giving it mushed up food every now and then for a few weeks... Sadly it must R.I.P. I went to check on the little fella a few days ago and blew softly to see if it would move. It didn't. Fast forward to now and it's in the exactly same position and still not moving, presumably dead. It's been a learning experience and I definitely understand why most arachnids lay lots of eggs, these slings are fragile and, in nature, die very easily.On the bright side, the other t's and slings I have are doing great. I've got a Euathlus sp. "Red" mature female and a sling of the species as well (and holy **** it's small, like the size of a bb small). A rose hair sling the size of a silver dollar. And slings of G. pulchripes, S. calacetum, and A. ezendami all probably the size of a nickel or quarter. With that being said the little irminia was the best looking of them all, at least as a sling.</blockquote>
