(possible injury) is there any way to help this brown anole?

UPDATE! she recovered and has been released!! this all actually happened in my work parking lot. i brought her inside in a little container with mesh fabric on top and kept her in the back of my store where it was warmer, and left her with some water. i just went to check on her for the first time in about 6 hours and she seems to be right back to normal. she’s totally perked up and alert now, responsive, and no visible injuries. i released her and she ran away to a tree :)

hi, possible injury warning, i hope this guy isn’t hurt but i’m not sure.
i live in florida where we have brown anoles everywhere. one got into my car today and i tried getting him out but he kept getting away and eventually squeezed underneath my backseat, where the soft seat part connects to the base of the seat. after a while i finally got him out by pulling the seat up and sticking my finger into the tiny gap he was in and sweeping, and literally pushing him out. but i think he got kind of squished under it because he looks almsot flattened. he kept trying to go further in when i pulled the seat up, so i’m scared he went too far in and when i let go he got squished.
he let me pick him up after that and i put him in this container with some water. he looks to be breathing fine and i checked for punctures/wounds and broken limbs, and theres none. but he hasn’t moved, hes just laying with his belly on the ground. i haven’t seen him drink any of the water even though it’s right by his face touching his nose and he’s had his eyes closed almost the whole time.

is there anything i can do for this little guy? am i making him more stressed by not immediately releasing him, should i just put him outside and let nature take its course? thank u :(

💔 News about Kittie

hi all, i have some really unfortunate news. kittie has passed away.. i am absolutely devastated. i think she just died because it was near the end of her life cycle. she was about 2 years old.

she was so special to me and my first ever spider. she was easily my favorite spider in my collection. i truly think we had some kind of bond or something becquse she was just the absolute sweetest, most social and curious girl. i had so much fun watching her grow up and she taught me so much. she was so patient with me as i was learning about spider care and always bothering her lol. i feel extremely lucky to have had her, and i got to observe so much from her.

thank you guys for always leaving your nice comments when i posted her. i am happy others enjoyed and appreciated her as much as i did and i’m glad she could make others smile too. its very comforting to think about now that she’s passed. these are a few of my favorite pics of her

i think i’m going to have her pinned to display in my room (i collect oddities) to preserve her. if anyone in the tampa bay area knows reputable artists for this PLEASE DM ME!!!!!!

my b. hamorii baby! 🤎

my sweet Bram is finally ready to eat after his molt ~15 days ago! his fangs took a while to harden this time but now he’s finally good to eat. gave him an extra big mealworm as a special treat today, hopefully will encourage some more growth soon :)

Well, looks like Kittie has another egg sac..

caught her red-handed moving piles of dirt into her water bowl, looked closer and, pretty sure that’s another egg sac in her legs. at least i am sure it’s not fertilized, hopefully Kittie realizes too and discards it (she did last time she laid an egg sac, not the first time when i had to remove it myself). here we go for round 3..

tips to decorate L. parahybana enclosure?

hi, title.. please show examples of your enclosures or share some tips. my sling, Banshee, is still too small to size up his enclosure but i’m currently planning out his next one.

i ofc want to make the enclosure as comfortable as possible for him. advice on what decorations to get (and the best place to buy them), how to plan the layout, and any other tips greatly appreciated!!!!! :)

is it normal for Lasiodora parahybana sling to be so skittish?

this is Banshee, my lasiodora parahybana sling, unsexed . i don’t try to handle him or bother him at all, i only open the lid on his cup to spray water/feed. but any time i even approach or open the lid he freaks out and runs away and hides in the moss. i don’t mind if hes just shy ofc, but i also don’t want him to be stressed, and i’m worried that getting startled so often would be causing him stress. is this normal behavior ? just a shy personality ? is there a way to make him more comfortable or less scared of me ?

best place to buy captive-bred wolf spiders?

LOCATION: FLORIDA USA :)

title, tell me your experiences please! looking to expand my collection of wolfies but all of the popular sites ive checked seem to only have wild-caught and i don’t want any risk of babies. i’m looking for really any species (i love them all, my collection wishlist is mostly wolfies lol, so i’m happy with any) as long as they aren’t wild-caught . thank u :)
