So anyways, i traded with mammon some slings for my scorpion and they've been perfectly fine and i just got home to do some feeding to find, 3 of them dead and 1 barely alive :(

Is there something that i'm doing wrong here? They were together since saturday with no problems, tank was nice and moist, substrate at 3" with cork bark for their homes. I know they never attacked each other because they were all in different spots when i saw them and they were in the death curl (looked like).

Any ideas? Just a note: Mammon's tarantula's were in EXCELLENT condition when he gave them to me, I take full responsibility for this and in no way direct any blame at Mammon, his service and tarantula's like i said are excellent, if not the best i've dealt with before.

I can not agree more...

Heat, stress, exposure to sun, food, toxic fumes, toxic substrate, toxic cork bark...

Something killed them, this is very unusual, so backtrack and look at what might have changed since you got them...

You were keeping Slings together? Were they H. Incei? If not then that could be why. Other wise it could have been any number of things. Fungal Infections, DKS, to Humid, to Cold, to Hot, to dry etcetera. I had a Trinidad Chevron that died for no apparent reason. It sounds to me though that it could have been to wet in the Tank. Maybe someone with more experience will be able to give better help.

We all try mate...

It does not have to H incei to be together. Slings can be tolerant, AND they were not eating each other, they died...

Well what I meant was that if they were different species kept together then that could have been why, due to the fact that each requires different conditions. Was this log you bought Organic or Resin/Plastic? If it was organic, then it could have accumalated some mould in a Unseen area and that could have killed them off. This is just speculation of course.
