  • Anyone ever seen anything like this before

    Hi All

    This is an adult female A.seemanni that I aquired recently, so I have no idea of it's history like last moult or origin, if you look at the pic it shows how the spider is standing tall, keeping it's abdomen away from the substrate and also the abdomen is clearly tilted to one side. In the closer pic it shows the extent of the rotting spinnerett. I showed it to Ray Gabriel last night to see if he had ever seen anything like this, this is a new one to him just as it to me. anyone ever seen anything like this before???

    Hi Phil
    I have not seen this before but I would think it is likely to be fatal without veterinary treatment (good chance even with treatment but worth a try!).

    Looks most likely to be an infection of some sort.

    I would be happy to see spider for you - contact me privately
