I had the most beautiful Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (GBB) that I lost a few months ago. I have not posted the death because I only joined the forum recently, but I have been in the hobby for a while

My GBB was about 8 to 10cm and had a healthy appetite before he went into pre-molt. He molted without any problems and a few days later I found him in a death curl. To this day I don't have the slightest clue why he died.

I have sexed his molt and he was indeed a male but was not yet mature and without hooks so a final molt is impossible
There were no other insects in his inclosure
His abdomen did not fall in
He did not secrete anything that looked out of place

Would like to know if any of you might have an idea why he could have died?

Hey,

myself and a few others also experienced strange deaths and in fact the same species Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (Green Bottle Blue)

here is the other topic www.tarantulas.co.za/forum/the-graveyard...86-gbb-strange-death

thanks demitri!
I have read that thread before I posted this but my T did not die the same way and did not secrete anything nor did he lose any body parts or got stuck somewhere. He did not exhibit any strange behaviour such as chewing his webbing etc.
I just found him dead for no reason... It was a very sad yet confusing day
