I accidently killed Lilly :( UPDATED!!!

I feel horrible! Down right horrible :(

I was redoing my bedroom last Thur & moved Lilly's tank into the hall. I totally forgot about her & left her there with no heat all weekend :(

As I was walking upstairs late lastnight (I was gone from 10:15 fri to midnight sun) & saw her tank... I gasped in horror & rushed her tank into my room. was able to see a couple legs at the end of her log. I poked them with a pen & they didn't move :(

I cannot believe I killed my baby :(

Some of you may say gross its a spider! But she ment something to me. I'm going to clean out her cage tonight.

I'm hoping & praying that she just shedded, as I cannot see into her log (too many webs)... But I did poke her web back door & she usually pokes back & I didn't get a responce last night :(

Oh dear! I hope she just shedded skin :(

Oh no, that's not good:( I hope Lilly is okay and just hiding in his webnest. Keep us updated on em.

I'm crossing my fingers for you *crosses fingers*

I'm so sorry for your loss! :( Don't beat yourself up too bad over it.

I know what you mean--when my duck died I know to some people she was just a duck, but she meant way more than that to me, because they are part of the family no matter what kind of species of animal--whether it's got fur, scales, feathers or even if it's a spider like your's they are still special and mean something to the ones that love them :)

i agree! I love my chickens like I love my dogs. My mother on the other hand doesn't understand it. I don't know how many times a day I hear "They are just chickens!" Yeah, but they are MY chickens! :)

SHES ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She just shed her skin!!! I poked the leg & it fell :S I then was able to see that the leg was hollow & crispy hehe

SO now I have this kick butt Spider skin!!! Her HUGE fangs are still attached to it!!

I am so happy I didn't killer.. I feel horrible still, as I could have killed her... But when I saw her inside her log looking at me, I nearly cried!

Great News!!!!

That's wonderful! I'm sooo glad she made it! :D

Oh I am soo happy to hear that Lilly is okay after all! I love spiders although I have never owned one as a pet. I refuse to take down currently used spider webs in my house although everything else is kept swept and dusted. My family think I am nuts!
Lots of love, Lilith

Glad to hear everything is ok.

The first time my son's rosy tarantula shed her skin, I though she was dead, too. I was trying to figure out how to break the bad news to my son, and how to get this HUGE dead spider out of the cage without totally losing it. Just about then, she crawls out of her house for a cricket. Now I'm REALLY freaked ... since suddenly there is one live spider and one dead spider in a cage that yesterday very clearly only had ONE spider in it. LOL

What kink of spider is Lilly? If she is a tarantula, unless your house is really cold, I don't think they really needs heat. We never had heat for ours, and she did fine. Several other people I know with tararntulas keep them without heat as well.

oh my goodness! wow! that's so awesome!!!

I am glad for you but have to say eeeeeekkk :eek:

having a spider as a "pet" is a bit strange.its not like you call spidy & he runs to you.
