My theory: she became egg-bound and hemorrhaged when she finally passed them.Maybe she had an abscess, a cyst, or perhaps the eggs were too large and when she managed to pass them she unfortunately couldn't stop the bleeding. The prob is us keepers are finding out the hard way about these issues and have to figure this out ourselves first-hand. Maybe do a necropsy if you can? Either way if you figure it out then please keep us updated and fingers crossed this doesn't happen again

[@seanmills7255]

I think ur theory may be correct

[@annabanana9705]

I've been following this channel for a long time but dont know much about tarantulas, would this mean that its a freak accident or something that just happens sometimes?

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss and I do believe that I know why this happened, and for the people who are saying it was the maggots, no it isn't the maggots, maggots are just a byproduct of decomposition they were probably in there after the spider died or right about as the spider was about to die. It is highly likely that as the tarantula layed the phantom egg sac the phantom egg sac was too large for the tarantula's abdomen and wounded it's abdomen. For vertebrates this wouldn't be a problem, but tarantulas are spiders (invertebrates) meaning that they are insects and are unique since they have hemocyanin (a copper compound) instead of hemoglobin and lack the factors that are needed for blood clotting, therefore a single wound can be deadly for a tarantula since they can bleed out because of a single wound and I believe that is what happened. Tarantula blood turns pale blue when it meets oxygen therefore the red stuff isn't actually tarantula blood but is actually the digestive track of the tarantula. So to recap, the tarantula layed the phantom egg sac and her abdomen got damaged during it, she died of blood loss and a few flies that were small enough went into the enclosure and layed eggs on the decaying egg sack and tarantula causing those maggots. Hope this helps.

[@Thunder0usKitsune]

Exactly what I was thinking! It’s really sad though. My little girl is still young and I may never breed her but the thought of something happening to her makes me very upset.

Rest in peace. Maybe the eggs started rotting, attracting flys who laid their eggs on the tarantulas eggs. It also looks like the moisture in her cave was building up, maybe that has something to do with it ....

[@The-Wolf-Knight]

If I had to guess she laid eggs and those eggs started to rot and decay which the smell of it probably attracted a parasitic fly of some sort and it then laid eggs on her and those eggs borrowed into her and the larva bursted out as a result...... I say keep one or two of those larva and wait till they reach adulthood to see exactly what they are just to be sure Edit: that is what I usually did when I was into bug collecting as a kid... When one of my insects died for no reason what so ever because their enclosure where perfect for them and I see larva in there when there should be none I take a few of those larva and feed them in a separate enclosure and wait till they grow up to see what they exactly are and how to stop them in the future for harming any more of my insects

[@gaiapsyche]

omg that close up to the burrow was crazy, it looks like a crime scene

[@Dogtroll]

Honestly, the inside of that burrow is like a soup of nastiness that's probably the reason why the tarantula died. They probably layed a phantom egg sac that went totally bad and never got removed so it just turned their enclosure.

[@hualian697]

Rest in peace I'm sending my prayers for you, i'm so sorry for your loss I hope you find out how she died.

[@Itspulchra]

It’s possible she was too full of eggs and it ruptured her abdomen when she was trying to lay them. 😢 It might have something to do with her molting cycle too, like if she was due for a molt or freshly molted. Man that sucks so bad though… I’m sorry dude. 😞

[@anooymous84]

with all that dying going on, perhaps its time to spring clean the room to find the real cause of your situation?

[@loverlei79]

You need to check your spiders more. For there to be maggots there had to be Flys.

[@1finallygotunleashed]

Bro I know you didn't just put a dead tarantula with maggots crawling on her skin on a box with holes at the top

[@staceygrahame2504]

[@DlPeterson91]

So sorry for your loss. That was a beautiful tarantula I know that it's a hard loss. Not your fault it happens just like in nature

[@gerrinickolson2314]

I think the eggs not being fertile, attracted the flies and they laid in/on them. Since she was near the sack the maggots got to her.

[@FroschkeuleTv]

I think the problem was the maggots. When the egg sac starts dying and 100 maggots have formed then the maggots have eaten your spider.

[@cherrellebanks8215]

Yeah he need to check on them way more often because it takes a while for maggots

[@ceopet]

@@cherrellebanks8215 Depends on the type of fly, it can be pretty quick too

[@Aaron-Oakleaf]

It’s not possible, as maggots do not have teeth. Instead, they secrete enzymes which expeditiously break down necrotic tissue. Something else got this girl 😰

[@Link00TMM]

But don’t maggots only eat dead flesh? 🤔

[@moosey4155]

I agree

[@costaldevomito]

Could this be something like that happens with chickens? Sometimes when they get to egglaying age, something is just wrong with their reproductive tract and they die. Maybe it was just some problem with that?

[@CharlotteBeaven]

Oh I've been busy watching over your progress sorry for the late response ^ loss of your tarantula .😢 learning & enjoy your messages and your progress is always amazing 👏

[@joellepoll6443]

She was a beautiful tarantula! My 8year old son loves the Tarantula POV video with her as the star. I am so sorry for your loss! I hope you discover or come up with a theory as to why she died. Cleaning the enclosure out might help. Tarantulas are beautiful creatures and losing one is heartbreaking.

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Exotics looks like the moisture was really building up in her den. Maybe putting some drainage layers in with spiders that require a higher humidity. Seems to help mine an awful lot.

[@Ivvone.]

Rest in peace, i hope everything goes well. I hate seeing dead animals and hopefully you will find out how she died.

[@abx42]

RIP. My sorrow goes out to you as to the cause I've never seen anything like this. I hope you find out what happen in time.

[@slrflre]

that swampy burrow may have something to do with it. maybe try cleaning their cages more or make sure you check their burrows to make sure they dont get swampy. i assume that's what happened; the swampy burrow attracted some sort of insect/bug and it laid eggs in there.

[@iristhekakariki88]

Unless it was how she laid the eggs? Perhaps they didn't come out the natural way, causing a burst in her abdomen?

[@meaghangarlick10]

Eek! I definitely would have loved a maggot warning at the start. I WAS eating lunch. Not any more 🤣

[@JustHaleyn]

I think that she gave birth and some of her babies died. And when she gave birth/ laid eggs some eggs died maybe. And the maggots started eating the eggs but then started eating her. And she was weak so she couldent fight back. 1:15

[@xxmuffinplaysxx3937]

noo not that gurl :( shes been with us for a long time! heres my theory. She probably thought she got mated so she tried to make the eggs. but they formed wrong to it attracted flies when you open the door to feed your tarantula's. when you opened her enclosure and went to get her food, the fly probably got in before she tried to lay eggs, after she did the fly laid the eggs in her and probably in her eggs to leading the poor girl to die. Rest in peace gurl :(

do not place the tarantula on a another inclosure, otherwise the maggots may crawl into the other inclosure. 😢

I’m sorry for your loss

[@simonrobinson4761]

Spiders have blue blood as their blood is based around copper instead of iron like mammals do. So that red stuff is not the spiders blood. In any case you will have to strip down that enclosure and clean it out. So you will have more clues then. I know the frustration that comes with having pets die despite your best efforts. Animals don’t read textbooks and always surprise you even though you think you’ve done everything. My best guess is that the phantom egg sac took too much out of her. Sorry for your loss mate. ❤

[@JackPlaysMinecraft575]

i googled it and apparently they can lay eggs without being paired idk how but it's weird

Is it possible that she had some sort of complication when laying the sac and maybe got an infection or internal bleed somewhere? I'm very sorry that happened. I've been watching your videos and I don't have experience, but it looks to me like you really care for your spiders and are a great owner so I have no doubt this is just a sucky coincidence and there was no way you could have prevented it.
