Just keep its water dish full. Have never seen my rosie drink but doesn’t mean they don’t. Avoid misting the enclosure though...desert species like it dry
That looks like a very plump healthy rosie..very nice specimen. In agreement to what Sue said, it will drink when it needs to provided it has a clean water source 100% of the time
@semmy juarez some Ts just have natural patterns on their legs that look like scars. as for the sluggish behaviour, perhaps she might be in premolt. unless the temperature is either really hot or really cold i dont think that would be it, generally if you're comfortable so is your T
@semmy juarez very cold temps can affect them. Mine tend to go really sluggish in winter and refuse food especially my A Geniculata who likes a tropical climate. Theres a lot of debate about heat pads but some people use them on half the enclosure so the T can move to the other side if it gets too hot. Or maybe just get an electric heater and try to maintain a temp of 65-70 degrees. They are more hardy than you think though and do tend to adapt. A couple of mine retreated to their hides and blocked the entrance which I guess is their way of keeping warm. Don’t worry about them not eating, they can go a while without food
@semmy juarez definitely more sluggish as @RezonantVoid said but guess it depends how low the temps reach where you are. Im in the UK and last winter we were in the minuses so pretty damn cold
