A. Seemani DKS?

[Mastermind 50]

My A. Seemani seemed to be leaking clear liquid near the book lungs. I consulted a few people, and someone said that it might be DKS. I came here to be sure, since my friend said to put it in isolation, because it might infect my other T's. What do I do? (I am still waiting for her new enclosure. the one she is in is small, but temporary bc the larger one that I ordered hasn't arrived yet. Also, I am only prodding her to show you guys how she moves since DKS affects movement.)

Do I need to worry about the leaking fluids?

Potentially. Please send a clear picture of the fluid leak so we can judge.
I also think it would be nice to give this T a full water dish.

I did it after taking the videos. Will try to get a better angle, but it's close to midnight for me, so I'll do it first thing in the morning. thanks.

If your T has a significant hemolymph leak, it may not last until tomorrow morning...

I tried recording it in the first vid. there are 1 drop of clear liquid in front of each of her book lungs. when I took the second vid after consulting my first friend, there was no liquid anymore. she is currently in a Tarantula ICU.

Get her out of there ASAP. High humidty with little ventilation is a quick recipe for a dead spider. Her movements just look like you're stressing her and she's reacting.

It might had been grooming fluid, since she's clearly in the middle of the process here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OjOzKtPUpvxLSPohpb8CtydOe5nDx8Q8/view?usp=sharing

Movements look like those of a startled T, nothing more. Remove her from the ICU quick sharp, it will only harm the T, not help it.

Thanks everyone. She's doing alright now. there is no more fluid, and she seems a lot calmer now.

“DKS” does not exist, it’s an ceaselessly perpetuated false belief that it’s a syndrome or something that just happens, when in reality dyskinesia is most always a symptom, of bad husbandry practices.
