[QUOTE="Phil, post: 158447, member: 4151"] [USER=28563]@shaun[/USER], sorry to hear about your loss. when exactly did you get the sling? As you know, I always offer LAG and ask that the recipient fives me a text/mail to make sure the spider arrives safe and well. Unfortunately deaths are something we all experience at some point. I keep a detailed spreadsheet of all my spiders bought, bred, sold whatever and death rate based on all the spiders I have ever logged is circa 12%. There is usually no reason, sometimes its after a moult and they just don't eat or have the energy anymore, and sometimes there is no reason anyone can see. Slings are more delicate we must realise that in the wild, a sac if hundreds would only probably result in one or two surviving to adulthood. Predation is obviously a factor on the wild that is removed when captive bred but there will always be weaker spiders and stronger spiders I don't have any more avic avic left bit if there is anything else I can help with please let me k ow. Again, sorry to hear you did not have a long time to enjoy your new addition. [/QUOTE]
