She was fine a few weeks ago, but then she started slumping and moving very veeeery slowly. I think she was in premolt? But then she stopped miving altogether and I hot worried as heck. I recently lifted her up with her fangs to her water dish to drink some water, she even spent some time in an...

I'm not a skilled tarantula owner, but I jusy recently bought a tarantula with dks (I didn't know what was wrong with him till I googled it and found out), but I can tell you that it's not a condition or a disease, it's more like a symptom of either dehydration, intoxication, parasites etc. Most...
