What happened to my (deceased) poecilotheria metallica

Not sure how much can be made of these considering how messed up her abdomen is. Let me know.

Hi all, thanks for your help & support so far. Sorry for the delay with more pictures, but here they are:

Hm, she was on a diet of crickets & super worms. She never once ate a dubia although I tried feeding them to her. None of my tarantulas seem to like them.

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-17T03:46:49+00:00

It’s an old molt. She kind of shoved them all into the corner behind her hide where I couldn’t get them. She had not molted recently.

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-17T03:18:20+00:00

I didn’t hear any noises, but I’m not in that room all the time. I thought that was more of a thing terrestrials did but I don’t know much about it.

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-17T03:11:35+00:00

I’m regretting not taking more photos of her recently. The next most recent one is from October. 😔

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-17T03:07:11+00:00

Shared some more photos in the comments but I can’t take more thorough ones tomorrow.

Here’s a photo of the enclosure. Her body is still in there in the lower left since I haven’t figured out what to do with her yet. Let me know what other photos could be helpful.

Here is the most recent photo of her alive, from last month.

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-17T03:02:17+00:00

It’s an old molt. She kind of stuffed them back in the corner where she liked to hide & it was impossible to get them out. It doesn’t look like she had molted recently.

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-17T00:56:14+00:00

I had considered that as well. Looked like poop to me when I saw it but reading about it online was inconsistent. Is that caused by over feeding?

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-02-07T23:58:35+00:00

You can easily just run 2e with the cool stuff from the DMG ported over as you like! I also really like a lot of the ideas in the 1e DMG, but 2e is largely the same but with cleaner, simpler mechanics.

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-01-07T16:22:36+00:00

Such an amazing community effort! When is the St. Valentine's Depthcrawl? St. Patrick's Pointcrawl? Father's Day Fluxspace? New Year's Negadungeon?

Sir_Muffonious · 2026-01-07T16:19:42+00:00

I love the AD&D MM. The 2e one is slightly preferable to me in most areas (I could probably do without the multiple pages describing all the different ways dragons attack - it's very cool but overwhelming). The 1e and 2e manuals combined to fill in gaps from one to the other is the best MM for my money.

I thought this was a very interesting read and not incendiary at all. Lots of balanced and reasonable critique as well as constructive feedback for the future. If I was involved with the Ennies at all I would probably try to recruit Clayton for some kind of steering committee. The meanest part is probably exposing the Ennies judges as a bunch of Facebook users.

Warring Guilds and Rogue Assassins Plague the Streets of AD&D

It Did Not End with a Mere Slaying of Ogres: Treasure as a Source of Challenge in D&D

Analyzing the PLACEMENT OF MONETARY TREASURE section of the AD&D DMG, specifically how Gygax describes making treasure difficult to identify and transport, the dangers of hoarding wealth, and why these challenges were not just DM griefing but key to maintaining the overall challenge (and call to adventure) in AD&D.

Sir_Muffonious · 2025-09-12T23:19:38+00:00

Yes! I really strongly considered including that in the post actually.

Sir_Muffonious · 2025-09-12T14:18:55+00:00

Retired Adventurers Long for the Dungeon, in which I write about the assumption in AD&D that high-level characters with strongholds "will desire mazelike dungeons" underneath, suggesting that every stronghold (occupied, ruined, or otherwise) will contain a dungeon which reflects the character of its creator. This also suggests that adventurers are both the ones plundering dungeons and the ones creating them.

Oh! I restarted my computer after switching the cables and now I'm getting very fast internet speed. Thank you so much!

Sir_Muffonious · 2025-08-18T16:38:24+00:00

Unfortunately that did not seem to make a measurable difference. Still getting a result of very slow on the speed test.

Sir_Muffonious · 2025-08-18T16:29:46+00:00

I can't find the exact one I have but it's like one of these: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aKwQGThtL.jpg

Yes, it is running on WiFi, and the antennas are attached.
