RIP Cayenne

[Enn49]

Cayenne, my beautiful Tapinauchenius gigas sadly passed away last night.

He came to me as a tiny sling at the end of March 2015, never gave me any problems although he could be extremely fast. He grew steadily and developed that lovely orange colour that they are known for but In May 2016 he had his final moult. He was active until the end, climbing the sides of his container just yesterday afternoon.

Another T that will be sadly missed.

Looking his best last October

The last picture I have of him taken just 11 days ago

Aww I'm sorry you lost the little fella.

Such a handsome guy. Sorry for your loss Enn

@timc and @Marija Thank you. At least this one was expected to go at some point soon so it didn't come as a shock but I will miss the fella.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I have a MM Grammostola sp "North" with it's clock on countdown.

 

[Pasodama]

So sorry for your loss.
Even when expected, it is not an easy thing.

 

[CrypticSpider]

My condolences... he was gorgeous.

Sorry for your loss, I'm guessing you didn't get a chance to pair him up?

I did offer his services last year but with no takers and latterly I daren't risk sending him through the post. I've always said I didn't want to breed myself.

I'm sorry for your loss.

 

[Loafman]

Sorry to hear that Enn. He was a fine looking guy.

 

[Enn49]

Thank you all.

I had intended rehousing him into a larger container but when he matured I took the decision with the help of the good folk on here to leave him alone and I'm so glad I did. I believe he'd have been miserable in a container with no web whereas he was at least in the home he'd made his own.
