A chalcodes too weak to move? Dying? :(

Update: Shortly after placing her back into the tank, she wiggled into her burrow. Every few days, I checked to see if she showed any signs of dehydration and dripped some water into the burrow on the side closer to her mouth.

I can't tell you when exactly she passed away but her legs never did curl at all. They remained extended around her, two legs up against the tank wall, in the exact same position she settled into two weeks ago. No smell, no small swarming scavengers, just a sad deflated abdomen.

In some ways, it's at least a little comforting to know she spent her final days in the familiarity of her burrow.

RIP Snickerdoodle, my very first tarantula

Sorry to hear.
