@kaz I'm so sorry you lost the little one.




This was an Avicularia sp Colombia not a pumpkin patch (Hapalopus sp Colombia)

Oh, my bad..it even says so in the title..

I'm still a bit miffed that I lost that one although I bought an A. laerta to prove to myself it wasn't my fault and it's doing fine.

Lost four little ones myself although two are DOAs. But still, it hurts to have it then it passed. You're not alone buddy. It is just how it is.

and just to make myself feel ****tier I'm pretty certain its my own fault it died. About 4 days ago I replaced its water dish as a cricket died in there, then when I went to add water to their cages aday later I noticed it was completely empty leaving me to believe I forgot to refill it!!

Slings can go for a long time (relatively anyway ) without water. My slings don't get water bowls and get misted every week or so. Haven't lost one yet!

I do that with the tiny little slings, like 1/4" or less. I have a water dish in the LP's home and i mist the side it's on to "fill" it. It's really in there for when it grows a bit bigger and i won't need to mist the side. My B. Vagans didn't get a water dish until his last molt and now he's just over 1/2" and has a dish. Until he molted i also misted his wall. It was neat to see him drink from the water droplets on the wall.
