Aww what a shame, poor wee thing

Best of luck getting another.

How do I know if she's alive? I know it sounds like a silly question, but i'm a bit gutted

Yes.

Death would indeed be just cause for concern.

So, how did it all turn out, in the finish..?

Was it really dead, or did it do a Jaysus, and rise after three days?

To be fair, Alex has been fantastic. This was a real shame though

He is going to send me another spider on Monday.
I'll pick up another Brachypelma Smithi at some point. It's a pity, she was very pretty

Glad it all turned out ok, though not for this poor spider

When he sends the next, ask him to pack it extra well inside so it stays extra warm. LOTS of tissue.
