Wondering if anyone has experienced this before!
Brachypelma albiceps.
I obtained her recently, and her prior owner has had her since June 2019 as a sling. Since September 2019 apparently after molting she started to walk around strangely, and has been like this ever since. Since she started acting odd she's moulted 7 times with no problem according to the old owner's logs. Most recently in June this year. I.E. whatever it is doesn't seem to be resolved by moulting. She eats fine (but does need a bit of extra help). I’ve caught her fallen upside down thrice already (not to moult fyi). Basically incredibly docile too, I can easily pick her back up to correct her, and would probably easily be able to grab her anytime without complaint.
I wonder if anyone’s come across this or maybe hypothesise as to the cause - the fact she’s been like this for over 2y isnt something I’ve ever seen someone have before, but it's difficult to find threads or discussions that aren't the usual DKS (and this seems to be more lack of co-ordination and low 'hydraulics' than jittery or random movements like I believe DKS presents as).
