Maybe try giving her a soda cap full of water to drink from? She might not like drinking from the substrate and that's why she's getting dehydrated.

That is why i think it's still better to have a water dish for the tarantula to have more options to drink

Water Dishes!! Not all Tarantulas drink from the substrate/food🕷💦

I walk around my house saying "HUBBA HUBBA TIME" in your accent. I love your accent, and my daughter knows when I say hubba hubba time, it means spiders! My three year old loves your videos as much as I do, Linda is her favourite aswell. She doesn't want to watch cars anymore, she wants spiders haha! I never wanted her to be afraid and you really have helped me out in that! Especially since you don't always handle them, so she understands not to pick them up or touch them. I'm sorry for your losses! I think its really unfortunate but a really wise decision to not keep the seldonias anymore. I'm so sad that the hubba hubba time also resulted in fatality. Poor bugger went from rejection to death pretty quickly. We love you Petko!

She didn't even give him a few second to woo her. Just pounced and RIP.

the second she jumped in, i feel like everyone watching was just "oh, no"

"Maybe she will love him" She sure did. I'm sorry for you having so many losses and scary situations in such a short time. Hopefully things start looking up.

Maybe the dehydrated tarantula needs a water cup in her enclosure?

I'll recommend what all the other comments are saying. Bottle cap full of water and leave it near her

Male: *heavy breathing* milady Female: *runs for dear life*

One of my N. Incei females were the same. She had moist sub and she even ate and still went in death curl, i then gave her a cap of water and help her to it, she drank it all, and bam good as new. A drinking spot is always a good idea and ive noticed it keeps the humidity inside the enclosures much longer with less risk of mold cause the sub doesnt need to be as damp to get to the right humidity %

25 years ago I owned 1 tarantula, a B. Smithi. I took up this hobby 1 year ago and now I have around 90 tarantulas, addictive hobby... I wanna thank you because it was your videos that took me back to this amazing hobby, thank You!!

Close to tears. Poor guy. And I do think that trapdoor species is hard to keep. Sorry Petko. Maybe a tiny water dish for the Hapalopus sp. columbia large. Getting moisture from the substrate or just humidity usually works, but I find some spiders just like an open water source - I think she may just prefer it that way, to the point that she'd rather dehydrate herself.

WATER DISH. I can't tell you how many spiders I have watched drink from dishes

Yeah, I'd go with the water dishes now ..... rip little dude

This why I always include a waterdish, even (especially) for some of my smallest spiders. Without a waterdish I feel constantly worried that something like this may happen, where the spider maybe didnt drink from the droplets/substrate. Also, I have seen my spiders many many times drinking directly from the dish. Often directly after a molt, they just go straight to the water and start drinking, it´s kinda amazing to see that.

give her water. she needs a water dish

I think the moisture is your issue with these tropical Ts from Brazil- try using moss to keep humidity up higher than you would for others. I wish I could get a Seldonia but I am in the US... 😑, but try keeping a water dish in the one who’s not eating, because she’s not getting water from her food. 😢

WATER DISH. Also, that communal set up does not look like it will last another molt.....

another brave heart. Rest in peace, brother. you did your best.

Petko even if the videos don’t go as planned we still love to watch your videos and my fav part is hearing your excellent accent but seriously don’t stress too much about the videos,YES keep making them for us but NO do not worry about the content we love it all

You should always have a water dish in for any tarantula just because they might not drink much it's good to give them option

Try different types of food for her if you haven't tried already. 😊 She may just don't like roaches and would perfer a cricket or mealworm? I usually would prekill for mine if they don't feel like eating and leave it in there, and the next day it'll be gone. 😊 Water dishes would help with dehydration! I use bottle caps for my slings and Dwarf species. 😊 I hope she recovers soon! 💕 RIP lil T 😪🌸

Petko why the hell did you do a sexy time to be released on Friday the 13th. You should have known this would happen 🤣

"2x RIP"...ok I've only seen one "Hubba hubba time"...ooooh here it comes

I absolutely love how compassionate you are! I hate spiders but I’m so intrigued by your videos! I look forward to them!

That was the Saddest Outro I've ever heard you do. Sorry for the strong of bad luck, but I'm glad you got the Interactions on Camera. Definetly Rare to see such Small species in the Wild

Petko, I'm afraid Felix needs more more moisture.Perhaps you must check humidity in the new, and beautiful, dark den.

14:54 "Slowly... slooowwwwly..." 15:04 "LATER, LOSERS"

I LOVE how it is like he flawlessly talks. He just knows what he is going to say. There is no doubt or hesitation. Love this channel.

Male: Hey my name is.. First Female Spider: Eww get away... *runs for it* Male: Hey my na.... Second Female Spider: Arrrrhhh ???? Foooooooood!!! Come here!!!!! *munch*

You seriously need to transfer P. metallicas in a bigger communal setup. And you should use a water dish in Hapalopus sp. Colombia large's enclosure.

The metallicas are already so big... don't you think they need a bigger enclosure now?

Wow, emotional roller coaster is right. I hope you are doing well with these RIPs. Thanks for the video.

It could be impaction. It shows the same lethargic nature and premature death curl

Was going to say, I have a water dish for all my Ts. Especially if your going in there to mist all the time. Dish keeps water longer

Man, even though I will never be a keeper, I sure appreciate how beautiful your collection is. Gorgeous.

You have progressed so far since I started watching you so long ago ♡ I love you so much and your content always makes me smile

maybe a water cup in the dehydrated one's enclosure? at least until it eats... or try different type of food maybe it doesn't like the roaches

Keep your head up Petko, things happen and you can't expect everything to go right. Just a few unlucky things, but that means better things to come!

Usually this species are not really into eating when there is light. I have one before and I just leave the roach in her enclosure and the next day it's gone.

I think you should move the Metallicas to a bigger enclosure sooner because they look pretty big for that tiny communal enclosure.

Oh the sadness. I was so excited to see that you had tried another Seladonia. I also couldn't wait to see it grow up. I totally understand not wanting to do them again until we know the secret to keeping them alive. Are other keepers just getting lucky or is there a specific reason they are successful? It hurts. And to know how much attention you paid for the best possible outcome. So sorry for your loss, both of them.

I've heard in regards to tarantulas, they meet most of their hydration needs via feedings. My best guess was that your Pumpkin Patch was dehydrated from refusing to eat, which is interesting in and of itself.

The dehydrated Hapalopus seems like there is maybe something wrong with it's abdomen? It looked on the video like it had web all over the bottom of it so maybe it had a bad molt, webbed up it's abdomen to fix the issue and now won't eat because of it? I don't know, all speculation. I've just never seen a tarantulas abdomen look like that before. Definitely keep us up to date because that's very interesting.

When you said "being completely dead" I about died with laughter. lol! You're awesome and even though you are great with your english when you do have mess ups it just makes it better. Thanks for your hard work. You and multiple others are fantastic and the reason I now have so many ts. Awesome

We all have those weeks. Thank you for still sharing with us even though things aren't perfect. ❤

Keep your head up. Nature works in weird ways. Love the videos 👍

Wow! That was an up and down emotional ride. So sad at the end and for the death.

What a rough time for you Petko! I'm so sorry you're having such bad luck with your t-bebes right now. So much loss in the new Dark Den! :( Many virtual hugs to you. Things will get better!

Bro have u done a mold test for the new dark den? Like check and see if the air quality is good and if there is any mold in that new building

Water dishes have saved my tarantulas. I had a T Gigas in a similar death curl situation. I moved her face into the water and the next morning she was 100% revived! From then on I kept her a water dish and she uses it. Some of my T’s fill them with substrate but I just throw it away and replace the soda bottle cap. My family saves them for me so I never have to clean them out. I also have some tattoo ink pots for tiny tiny T’s who can’t fit a bottle cap in their enclosure. It’s easy, convenient and helps create a failsafe from dehydration.

Sorry for your loss. Hope everything will get better soon, also with the sexy time. Those dwarf T's are something else💝

mannnn.... my condolences! but dont give up! you are a pioneer! we are all supporting you!

Poor guy just wasn't his day may we have a moment of silence please

My Heteroscodra maculata did the same thing. Didn’t eat for 6 months, drank water off the side of her enclosure and her water dish, molted twice without eating. I offered her every type of feeder I have and she took nothing. It was weird. She passed away a month ago and to this day I’m still confused.

As sad as it may be to lose a spider, I feel like "fatal sexy time" should be a shirt or bumper sticker

That's the hard thing about having pets of any type... you do your best, but sometimes bad things happen, and it's always sad. All in all, though, having pets is worth it. 💗

I like to take a break from the worlds problems and come to the dark den.

Usually I put a bottle cap with water in my hapalopus enclosures, and they just do it fine

still, big thanks to you petko for inspiring me and all other people on my country the philippines and the whole world, keep doin what you do best love Lotsss

Thanks to i got ideas on how to take care of Ts!! I got my first brachypelma boehmei i bought last last week and today I'll get my cyriopagopus hainanum!! More love to this channel!

This video was fantastic! Definitely a roller coaster but I couldnt help but laugh at the end 😆

that poor little dude didnt stand a chance. It was just instantaneous death.

Give them water cup

you need to add a water dish, i kept a daddy long legs,a woodlouse,and a funnel spider...each one would walk up to the little plastic bottle cap i used for a water dish and dip there fangs down into the water, and if shes refusing to eat id suggest mashing up some bugs mix it in her water and she can get the nutrients needed that way

So sorry for your loss Petco😢 Better luck to come👍

This week was just a depressing week...

Good video. Keep doing videos watching from Arizona

the spiders need water dish

Ohh ,poor little didn’t even have a chance to fall in love, bless him

Maybe a water dish would be better for the dehydrated spider.

Oh Petko I'm so sorry. You look like you need a hug. I'll give you virtual hug! I hope your weekend goes better. Stay healthy and safe. Again I'm sorry that really sucks.

How unfortunate...Good luck for the future!

same thing happened with my pumpkin patch sp. large at the same exact molt size she passed away sadly good luck man

Let me slip into something more comfortable.... *RUNS OUT THE BACK DOOR*

That Machala is gorgeous 😍 Really sucks about the tiny guy 😭 I loved the coloring on it!

Poor guy, he didnt deserve it. He was totally ready to deliver.

Ya- this was an emotional ROLLERCOASTER!!

aww lots of hugs!!

You are an Amazing KZfaqr keep it up man 👌🏼

Sorry Petko. Better days are ahead - That one black spider was so beautiful. Her carapace had some mermaid colors on it - very nice!

Let’s all have a moment of silence 😔I’m sorry Petko. 🙏🏻

I usually spray water on the web where the spider is. And she always drank water

Thank you for all you do Petko

For your one trantula that would not eat the cockroach you try giving it a superworm

Even if an enlosure is misted, some just need a waterdish, use bottle caps for smaller ones and little glasses for larger ones, look at Exotis lair for an idea

Try not to fee chrickets to your critters alot of them contain parisides call nemitodes something that are toxic to trantulars

Exotic Lair has water cups for most if not all of his tarantula's, I think you should try doing that too.

Aw that sucks man but I think you should persevere with seladonias, they're one of my favourite species and even if you don't want to ever have a sling again you should totally keep your eye out for a more mature tarantula! (Or get a few slings)

Try using water/soda bottle caps as water dishes it works great

Giving fresh prawns is a great way to rehydrate and reviatilize spiders that do no react to live prey..

I DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL TODAY IN QUARANTINE AND HAVE BEEN DOING NOTHING ALL DAY EXCEPT WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS I MET YOU TODAY AND I LOVE YOU AND YOUR BABIES

Aww, I hated seeing you so disappointed. That lil guy was super cute with his lil legs spread and waving... he was determined and wasnt scared at all. Poor guy, RIP. Take care Petko! Hopefully the next video will be a more cheerful one.

My Borneo Black slink died two days ago. I’m not really sure what happened the only thing I can think of is the air in the enclosure became bad or maybe he died of stress. The slink was very plump when I pulled it out of the enclosure. I tried to feed it a day before it died and it seemed very spicy but refused food. The reason I think it died of stress was because I made a stupid error. I looked at a care sheet which I only do to find out if there arboreal or terrestrial I don’t take anything else from the care sheet. The care sheet said the species was terrestrial and I found out later it was actually arboreal. I designed its enclose for a terrestrial and it burrowed under the piece of cork bark I had in there. So I figured maybe since it couldn’t climb and was stuck in the ground it was just super stressed and died but I don’t know. If anyone knows about the Borneo Black species please let me know. I want to get another one but I want to make sure it survives this time. Sorry for the long comment.

It may be a good idea to have a separate Mutual Enclosure for breeding certain spiders ... She seemed to see the presence of him as intrusive , so she left her home to find another ... I am super sorry for your loss Pecko

So goes the life of a male tarantula. RIP little guy.

the expensive sling was like, I dont wanna be here anymore peace bitcccchhhhhhhh lmfaoooo

So sorry for your loss Petko. Im super sad you you :(

WATERBOARDING A SPIDER!!! Hell yeah!
