Just an update. He's been in the same spot 3 days since I wrote this. Non moving. I prodded him and he never moved once. I'm 99.9 % sure he's dead. I will remove him and bury him when I see proof of death (decay)...
He was always a cute little guy...defensive and feisty.....Shame... :(
It's been a week since he first started acting sluggish. I think he tried to molt but got stuck in it. Nothing has been shed. He's not an adult but he's barely responsive. Tail almost flat. :(
Well, my first T was a Haplopelma sp. I rehoused it a couple times without being bit. It's possible for a newbie to own one without having problems, but a lot of times it can be too much to handle.
It's not really worth the intimidation because you won't even see it much, only on rare...
Yeah, doesn't look normal. Why was it spazing out at around 11 seconds? I don't know much about DKS but I'm willing to guess poking at it doesn't help.
I doubt she'll be handling anymore Ts now that she has seen her own ignorance. Shame it takes the death of something for people to get it through their thick skulls.
Sorry if I sound rude but this annoys me.
A baby gecko huh? You're so cool.....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Stick to crickets or roaches.
I suggest you research this site by using the search function. Everything you need to know is on this site. There's been a zillion topics about eating. They only need a cricket or two once a week...
When provided with proper substrate and log for cover it shall usually hide or burrow. Atleast mine is hiding. Check back at night with a red light if you wanna view your more reclusive tarantulas or "petholes". I don't think it's as bad of a pethole as a haplopelma.
