So I recently confiscated my friend's tarantula because she wasn't taking care of it and refused to do anything when I told her it was severely stressed out. She doesn't know what kind or sex, I believe it's an Aphonopelma female, not sure of the species. It's about 3", it's hard to tell for sure because I have never seen it I any position besides the stress curl. She was keeping it in a large kritter keeper with about 2" of coconut fiber and a very large hide and water dish. The room she was keeping it in was extremely cold and people were constantly stomping by the room. It hasn't been eating either. I have since added more substrate, put in a smaller hide and water dish, and placed it in my room with my tarantulas where I have a space heater. My question is if there is anything else I can do to help this poor spider. I'm concerned for its well being, as it still has not come out of the stress curl and it's been about a week.
