i have had a chilean rose for no longer than three months, things were going great, untill about a week or two ago when i noticed that he was no longer eating and drinking, walking very oddly, dragging the abdomen behind, not using the hind legs at all, and was also getting very jumpy.
upon speaking to the gentleman at the pet shop were said spider was purchased i was assured that these were sure signs of the spider getting ready to moult, the tarantula as i was informed was due to moult soon anyways, yet only a few hours ago today (2/01/09) the spider is stiff and unresponsive, i.e dead.
does any one have any ideas as to why this has occured?, the terrarium was of correct tempurature and humidity as i followed everything by the book. If some one can help to point me in the right direction it would be very appriciated.
