I am sympathetic, but I'm going to have to side with everybody else here - just don't get any more pets. Period. If you're not willing to spend money to vet them when they're sick, to get them proper set ups, and to make sure they actually have a proper quality of life, and if your parents aren't willing to help, then don't get them. Animals aren't disposable creatures. They're living beings with feelings that are relying on you to care for them.

I've spent over 1000$ on vet bills for one group of animals. One of them specifically cost 750$ by the time his vet bills were done. What type of animals were this group? Rats. The 750$ one quit breathing on his own late at night, so I rushed him to an animal ER and got him on oxygen. It turned out he had gotten pneumonia somehow. The ER visit was 500$ by itself. I have a cat that showed up abandoned in my yard who has cost me 1100$ in vet bills so far, and he's not even 2 years old yet (he has ulcerative colitis).

I am unemployed currently, and have been for a year (the company I was working for downsized, and I haven't been able to find anything else). Most of these vet bills went on credit cards that I'll probably be paying off until I die. But because I love my animals, and they are my responsibility, I took care of them.

So, I'm going to have to request you learn some responsibility and get some respect for life before buying another animal. This include tarantulas. Those are living creatures too.
I've had some tarantulas for a couple years now, that's insulting.
Your also not answering my questions. You are just calling me irresponsible.
That is whats making me mad. So can someone help me save the frog at least?
Instead of let it die. The vet is out of the question, the time it would take me to save up the frog would be dead.
