Your T is “fat” not surprised it won’t eat.View attachment 360670 My Marilyn will not eat and I'm afraid she is dehydrated. I put her by her water but don't know if she is drinking it. My Marilyn is out but spends a lot of time in her hide. Can somebody please help me and look at her pick and tell me if she looks dehydrated. Thank you
If you're referring to the tiny stripe at the top of the bald patch then that's the tarantula's heart.see a teeeeeny bit of darkening on that abdomen

It looks like there’s some on the underside?If you're referring to the tiny stripe at the top of the bald patch then that's the tarantula's heart.
Na, that's just where there's still a thin layer of hairs that haven't been kicked off.It looks like there’s some on the underside?
Thank you for your reply, here is a photo of my Marilyn's enclosure as you see she has a water source that I have in the right corner which is buried so it's even with the ground and all. Your reply and photos have put my mind at ease about her not eating.She doesn't look dehydrated but I don't see a water dish in the photo. Just make sure her water is topped off and she'll drink when she wants to. Welcome to Arachnoboards.
I understand that it looks big/huge in the picture but it really isn't big at all for her size and the things inside such as her hide a climbing log water dish and plants. The tank is only like 3 gallons if that.That enclosure is huge...
To us humans, more space usually feels luxurious. But for tarantulas, too much space can sometimes cause them stress
What's your source on this? I only hear this associated with reptiles, not tarantulas.That enclosure is huge...
