Still very new to the hobby and I had my first loss already.

Had a 5-6cm B.Bohmei which I got on 01/08, looked healthy and ate a few meals whilst in my care, I kept it in a 15x15x15cm terrarium with a water bowl (which I have seen it drink from). About 2 weeks ago it stopped eating and developed a bald spot, I anticipated a molt so raised the humidity a little to assist. Last week it just started to slow down, hardly moved, moved with what seemed to be great effort when it did, I raised the temp a little and maintained the humidity. A few days ago I noticed the abdomen had shrunk and the T was hardly moving even when gently touched so I moved it into an ICU. After 2 days in the ICU the abdomen had increased in size but the T was still not moving at all. I returned it to its terrarium with a healthy looking abdomen but it was non responsive. It sat in its terrarium for another day or so and this morning i could smell it was dead.
I cant understand why it died
It was the T I was looking forward to raising the most as I love the look of it.
Now I need a new B.Bohmei.

Sorry to hear !

What size are you looking for? We have a B.boehmei female, around 10cm, want to sell her sometime in the near future.

Sorry Gerrard

You did your best to pull it through!

I know how much you liked that spider!

Thanks guys.

Spunky, my budget is tight, how much were you thinking of letting her go for?

I have no idea! Will ask around and message you with a price

Sorry to hear about your loss. Seems like my T died in a very similar way. It is an awful feeling when you lose an T (or any creature/animal) and you have no idea why.
