Cyriocosmus are awesome!

We had a new order today!
Unfortunately, due to postal incompetence the package was left outside for a couple hours (even though someone was home!) Today was unseasonably cold at 2degrees C here. Our P. rufilata and 3 H. Norte de Santanders were okay if a bit slow. Two of our C. elegans were extremely slow but alive. The third and smallest (at 1/6") was apparently dead in full death curl. After about 20 minutes of holding it in my palm lightly breathing on it and supplying some water I noticed the last pair of legs had extended. Another 10 minutes or so I put it in a pill vial and placed it adjacent to our BP's heat pad. After about 2 hours he is alive! We will be naming him The Highlander because he is apparently immortal.
Just shows that you should never give up on a "dead" T.

Death curl is a completely mechanical event. It comes out because of lack of hydraulic pressure in the legs of the spider. This can be derived from death or from low vital functions as well. Considering that spiders can effort a long duration period with low or very low vital functions, i fully agree with Mtisdale.

Nice save, it has been cold, I heard Huntsville and North got flurries

Yeah we had a bit of snow today. Didn't last though

Good job on not giving up on it and doing what was necessary to bring it back from a death curl.

Wow! That's amazing! So glad everyone is okay. It's lucky you found them when you did. Seems like if they don't need a signature, they just drop stuff at the door anymore and take off without knocking or ringing the doorbell.

Congrats on your additions!
