My spider is dead. :cry:

My bf used duct tape to seal the front of the cage to the rest of it, and he didn't pay enough attention to detail... there was a bit of sticky side in the cage, and poor Phobetor got stuck on it. I noticed this last night and yelled for him to come see, and he tried unsticking the creature but ripped off a leg!

I angrily took over and managed to free him wothout the loss of any more appendages, but today I found him curled up in a little ball, dead.

I'm very sad as I really liked the little arthropod... he was even crawling on my hand quite comfortably near the end.

Ill post the last vid I have of him when i'm in a better mood... :(
