    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!

    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!

    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.

    I knew they shed, but I had knocked on her front door last week & I saw her leg... It was the same leg that I saw yesterday that made me think she was dead... but it was really her skin... so I'm assuming that last week she tried to answer her front door, but she bumped into her skin & moved it there...

    The tank has a heat pad under it, as I live in a cold area & don't normally keep my bedroom heat on. It was VERY cold this weekend & her tank was really cold to the touch, thats why I thought I had killed her.
