Unhappy i feel sick ...................

As you may know , we`ve been away on holiday for the last two weeks !!

Well ........ ive come home to find 3 of my favorite T`s dead , and im totally gutted

My sub-adult blondi , juvenile female Crawshayi and my beautiful juvenile Versicolor ....... i cant believe it and feel like selling up now

I left them with plenty of water , more than enough to last them ...... they all had food too and were all warm ........ or so i thought !

For some reason the heat source wasnt working and they were all freezing , most were scrunched up and looking very unhappy , the goliath was dead in its burrow , the crawshayi too but the versi seemed fine !!! . I got up today and checked on her to find her carapace had popped but she is stuck in her molt and hasnt moved all day , she is as good as dead too

I feel so guilty i had to leave them now and cant believe my bad luck , after going through losing my other blondi recently too i just feel like jacking it all in

these are the ones i lost .......

I know zero about spiders and only held one this week for the first time:icon_redface:
but read this post and I so felt for you.

I lost two snakes within weeks and it really rocked my confidence and I felt the same I considered giving it up.

Please do not be hard on yourself hun-thinking of you.xx
