*Grumbles* Salmon PInk not in good shape

[Roo]

This is the second time I might have lost a T after a molt. It's odd because every other T and invert I have has molted fine, more than once. But I've had two now who have molted and then don't look so hot after. One was a Rosie who passed away after her molt.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong as they are kept how they should be,

Molts can go wrong no matter how well the husbandry is.

You don't have to do anything wrong, sometimes they just aren't meant to live. And while Lp are known to be hardy, healthy spiders, as slings they seem to be a bit more delicate. I've had one die in the mail, and I seem to see a lot of threads about people losing them as babies. Don't spend too much thought on it, slings die sometimes, regardless of whether your care was excellent or not.

Sorry for your loss but keep in mind this species can have in excess of 2000 babies in a single sac. It sounds awful but not all of them are meant to survive. Mother Nature can be cruel.

I am sorry Roo what seems to be the issue?

 

[swimbait]

How big?

 

[Roo]

How big?

I would say about 2 and a bit inches.
