Hey Guys,
I'm quite new to Tarantulas and currently have 3 of them and owned for around a year or so and in that time i have never seen this happen or never heard about it happening. All my T's have been pretty much fine until i noticed my Brazilian white knee is acting weird with its feet, legs, like its unstable or something. Is it ready to molt or something or DKS (Dyskinetic Syndrome)? it can't be hungry as i feed him quite often and water is fine. I thought at first it might be the substrate, but its been in this cage for around 6 months and never had any problems or did this before, so not sure what it could be.
I've uploaded a vid below. Any help would be much appreciated! Little worried about him. Thanks!
