My Poecilotheria rufilatas Legs were curled under it this morning when I got up. It's just gone through a moult yesterday. I think it may of been dehydrated as I quickly poured aload of water into the substrate and into it's bowl as well as misting the tank and streight away it went to it's bowl. I just hop it's doing ok. I've got someone at home keeping an eye on it. I'll post back to say how it's doing tonight.

I'd hate to lose the critter :eek: :( :eek: :(

you pretty much made your tank a big ICU... hope it makes it..

if it's not improving move it to a smaller ICU with a moist paper towel and place near some heat

It Was deyhardrated it's tank was bone dry.

My bad .

It's not dry anymore. As soon as I filled up it's water bowl I had to nudge it to the water then onece there it dunked it's head in.

After that big drink it seams fine.
