[QUOTE="Phil, post: 159045, member: 4151"] so sad to hear of the little one passing. I agree with [USER=29302]@Jess S[/USER], most likely the 'damage' was caused in transit. Posting spiders can be a delicate operation and good packaging and protection is essential..Were others in the parcel packaged the same way and did they survive ok? I keep a detailed spreadsheet on all the spiders I have owned and death rate even under optimum conditions is circa 10 to 12% so there is always a degree of inevitability. One observation on your set up. It looks a tad large for the size if the spider. they literally only need 2 to 3 times the body length space. they like to feel safe and be in small areas which also helps them to catch prey. Having said that, I doubt it had any bearing on losing the little one, most likely the journey was too much for it. [/QUOTE]
