Default A death question.

So a couple of weeks back I posted that one of my young Mexican red rumps had died... Well I thought that she must have died in shed, however today I finally cleaned out the rest of her tank. I found a shed under her flower pot... so she did not die in shed. Any ideas what it could have been?

Her temps and humidity are right, I checked them...
The hydrometer had fallen off of the side... So the only thing I can think of is that it landed on her.
The sibling is fine and eating like a horse still, and they are set up the same... Just thought I would double check, as I don't want to risk the other two dying if it could have been a disease or something...

Thanks
Call
xXx

Did she look normal after shedding?

I have lost a good few spiders from 'wet' moults.

Same as myself. The first 2 spiders I had a juvie B smithi and B vagan both were growing and eating great but both shed and died and it was a month apart like almost identical size and time. Bizarre! never knew either as temp and humidity was fine feeding was fine.

Thats the problem...
I never saw her alive after moult.
When I notice they are looking like they are going in bout to moult I don't bother them, I give them water and thats it.
Then I check them a week later, this time however Nicks 3 year old grand daughter was here...
And she wanted to see them, so I disturbed them early, but she was dead...

Its really sad she was a sweet little thing unlike her sibling D:
The other goes for you as soon as you stick your hand in.
And 3 year old girl decided she would D: I almost had a heart attack.
