    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    This isn’t necessarily helping. Notice I said one of the borrows. There’s two. One with a heating pad and one without. I live in Ohio. We had about a six month winter and half of the days dipped under -10, just wanted to keep it warm

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    The video wouldn’t upload. It’s legs keep moving, curling in, and then expanding out. Still on its back.

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    No, the pad takes up a very small corner of the tank, it rarely goes in that burrow anyways. It was just to keep a stable warm temperature around 75-77. It rarely stayed in that corner

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    Yes I can do that later after work today. It’s enclosure has been set up the same way for the year it’s been here. Gets fed like normal, everything. It’s just odd this has happened suddenly with absolutely nothing even close to this ever being present

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    It’s about 4” or so long and has not molted since July of 2017, so I’d say it’s due for one. I’m done bothering it, tried to increase its humidity by spraying the enclosure, and it flinched a few times. Also, when I first noticed it on its back, it was moving its legs so I figured it was trying...

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    Well the windows have been closed for over a month and it’s a good 20 feet or so from a window and the angle of the window is facing away from its tank. Nothing was sprayed near it’s tank except for the water misting bottle I use to humidify the enclosure. I put more and more water on the sides...

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    No, all good items given to the spider have always been storebought and never from the outdoors because of the risk of parasites and other harmful effects. As for the chemicals go, I’ll have to check with the family because I don’t spray anything near the spider but perhaps something could have...

    Tarantula in weird critical condition?

    About three days ago, I fed my Chilean Rose Hair and it was active and everything. Ate, moved around, perfectly normal. The following day, it had what kinda gets tossed around but “DKS” like symptoms, it kept having spasm like activity and poor coordination, and later was on its back. So I kind...
