I lost my boy, Pax today in a horrible accident. Miss you, buddy.

[StormyPica]

Now, this isn't your normal 'I lost a pet' post. It's about a spider, a very brave spider who just hung on to life and learned to thrive even in unfortunate circumstances.

I got Pax about a month ago, when I found him on my basement floor with only half of his legs, and took him in. I made a huge enclosure for him, and he thrived. Today, as I was closing the lid after a feeding, he got in the way and I closed the lid on him. I feel horrible knowing I caused his death, and now I have a huge 'spider void' that needs to be filled. I really have nothing else to say, it hurts so bad.
Here is a picture of him:

Rest In Peace, buddy.
Catch some flies,
I love you.

Thank you for recognizing all life is precious! Saving Pax granted him an extra bit of life, sadly accidents happen despite your best intentions.

Yes, I'm thinking of getting another spider (preferably wolf spider), because I have my Jasper but he's just left a huge hole in my heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Pax. You tried to do everything you could for him, and I'm just so sorry that he passed in this accident. Scott said it best, that all life is precious, and so was Pax.
Rest in peace, Pax, you will be missed.

Thank you. I loved him dearly. I will, one day, find another spider that needs my help and love them that much more because of sweet Pax.

Of course! Everyone deserves a chance.

So agree all life has value and is special and rare, we are still the only planet we know of with life.

I love how huge your heart is!

I developed a fascination with pollinator wasps and flies this year.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Pax was very special to me. He will always be in my heart and inspire me to be more curious about the natural world.

Pax will be waiting for you beyond the rainbow web! Hand in hand in hand in hand in hand you will cross together to meet great Anansi!

I feel your pain....!! I still miss our little Kumo, it escaped from the terrarium while my partner was dropping in some yummies for him...

And I...I am also a murderer. I also once... Crushed a jumping spider by accident while.. -sob- closing the lid.... Oh how I miss my 8 legged children ;n;
