[QUOTE="CourtneyG, post: 42441, member: 3403"] I think the issue that I have run into that most likely caused the littles one death was, too congested and small of a enclosure for their size, I was going to be moving her soon to a taller one. The substrate stayed too wet since there were no holes near the bottom and no air flow at the base of the enclosure. I gave the little one her food on Friday and left town for 2 days and came back Sunday night, they were still alive at the time, I think, she was on top of her wood by her food, but had not eaten. I figured they were full from last feeding or close to moulting. This Monday afternoon when I went to take the old food out and put new food in was when I found them dead, they were where I saw them last on Sunday night, so I do not know when exactly they died. I would like to know what set ups you have for P. metallica spiderlings, so when I get my next one, I will not make the same mistake. [/QUOTE]
