Hang in there. I have a bad feeling about the process he's literally stuck in. But I could be wrong.I am still concerned, however, as he is still in a bowed/arched position on his back. :/ I haven't seen a tarantula in that position for molting before. -sigh-
Thank you so much! I am hoping for the best, but it is dwindling. I checked on him this morning, and there is no change. considering that the only one who lives with me is my boyfriend, who doesn't touch the spiders, I would say it is unlikely. I would consider the handyman of the apartment complex, but then all the rest of mine would be like this, as well. I don't know, I just for SOMETHING happens, whether good or bad. :/Hang in there.

I was wondering if anybody else could have contaminate the little guy.
We're rooting for the baby -- and you. Keep us abreast.
Thank you very much. I hope for the best. I'll keep updating the thread.Man, this thread has been a heartbreaking read...
Wishing the best for you and the little guy!
Oh, God, I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I feel nauseated just thinking about all that. My heart goes out to you.Yeah I'm sorry for what your going through now, I've only had to go through it one time before and it was shortly after administering a 'flea bath' on a cat, at the time the theory of flea medicine for animals and dks wasn't as well known as it is today, and even though I washed my hands and don't recall doing maintenace or feedings that night its the only thing I was able to really nail down. And I can't even say it was the cat entering the room as the cat actually died in my hands as I was drying it. It was in the days following that ordeal I learned of the horrors of hartz. So I lost two pets from the same poison, and now whenever I even hear of the idea of giving an animal a 'flea bath' I go on a long rant.
New exo? Did it molt?Hi all! I know it has been a while, but I figured I would post an update. My spider is still alive! And he also pooped!! However, he is still.... odd. He sits with most of his legs off the ground, and does an odd pulsing motion if disturbed and settling back down. He gets agitated, and will spazz, then relax in pulses. It is very strange. In unsure if it's dks, or if it is the new exo? -sigh- I don't know. it is still very worrisome.
No, I should have specified: new exo forming under the old.***New exo? Did it molt?
Oh, I think it's fine then. No changes happened with my incei until it actually molted.No, I should have specified: new exo forming under the old.***
Even with his weird movements? I just wonder what it could be? :/ and I don't really know what I can do for him from here. I keep his little water dish filled, and occasionally move him over to it, but otherwise I leave him be. He also sometimes lightly rubs/taps his abdomen. Everything is just strange with him. Haha.Oh, I think it's fine then. No changes happened with my incei until it actually molted.
Yep. Poisoning lasts till next molt. I highly doubt you'll see any improvement beforehand.Even with his weird movements?

True. I've seen a VAST improvement from how he was, which is nice, but I really look forward to him being back to normal. I have no idea how he could have gotten some toxic ingestion... but at this point, I'm just wanting my kiddo back to his normal self.Yep. Poisoning lasts till next molt.

Good luck. I'm pretty optimistic at this point.True. I've seen a VAST improvement from how he was, which is nice, but I really look forward to him being back to normal.
