I bought a beautiful A geniculata. It was already a substantial 8cm legspan. Had it for 2 weeks, the it started acting like you explained, fatigued, not moving, not eating well. curled into a ball, but moved when prodding it.
Then the next day, not moving at all. Very sad for me.

So not only slings can die like that. I think the difference is that the larger T cost a couple 100 rand, compared to a relatively cheap sling. Same loss emotionally, but hurts the wallet as well when it's expensive.


So true... I lost a P.tigrinawesseli and a P.miranda not to long ago and that sucked BIG time...

Shame, sorry to hear Nightfang. It's often difficult to say why a spider dies, sometimes it just was meant to be...

We all have to deal with losses in this hobby, and it always hurts big time :(

I have 3 others, a little bigger, but not much, so I won't need to replace it just yet. Gonna work on getting these guys big and healthy.

My first reaction was to give up and sell everything. The "pain" was not worth it.
But I am glad I stuck to it.
