I have an Acanthogonatus sp. that I just found lifeless in it's enclosure. No shrunk abdomen, no death curl, nothing. It just molted sometime back at the beginning of summer and lost one of it's fangs. It had been eating well too. I purchased it at Petco about one year ago so it was wild caught with no way of telling age. It was at full grown size at about 3.5 - 4". I currently have it's front half in the water dish and hoping for the best, but I don't think it is gonna pull through. I'm wondering if it might have been due to old age.
Has anyone had a tarantula to die of old age? One raised from a sling. What did it look like when you found it?
Thanks.
