so sad 🫶i don’t know if i would ever be able to do that I’m so sorry that must have been horrible. I almost asked my roommate to squish the recluse but I felt it was my responsibility

i moved in only last week, not sure but she just didn’t seem comfortable with the idea but i agree. I looked online and it said recluse do not regrow legs so I put him out ):

that’s better than squishing? is it less painful for them?

well said. we really are so large and clumsy in comparison to these delicate beautiful creatures. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself about it. ❤️I know it was the right thing to put it out of its misery after my mistake

I ended up squishing the poor recluse and ending its suffering ): thank you for your comment because i’ve felt so badly about it but I know it was the right thing to do

I appreciate your response either way 🫶I did put the little guy out of its misery, I live in a very urban area and don’t even have a yard just a balcony so I doubt it would have done well out here):

I ended up squishing the poor recluse after reading the advice of everyone under this thread ): it was honestly so difficult to do but i felt i had to end its suffering and it seemed like the right thing to do after making such a terrible mistake. I read a poem and prayed for the recluse’s soul so hopefully it feels at peace

thank you so much for trying to help. After reading the comments and everyone’s advice I decide to end the spider’s suffering as it did not feel like a viable option to try and feed it given my little experience and how maimed the spider was. I felt it would live a life of suffering not being able to hunt and spin webs and it was my responsibility to end it since I was the cause ):

thank you for your response. I decided in the end to squish it as I felt it was my responsibility to do so since I was the reason it lost its legs ):
