Fluttering and Twitching Legs

[Arachnophoric]

My P. Metallica has it's legs curled under its body and keeps twitching? It has moved a little. It just molted about a week ago. It's a juvenile. Is this the same situation or is it sick?

It sounds like your T is dying. Please take pictures of it and the enclosure. If it hasn't passed yet, get it water ASAP - recently molted Ts are especially prone to dehydration.

Basically what @Arachnophoric said. Post pictures. It sounds like a death curl, which means it is dying, possibly from dehydration, especially considering how recently it molted. I hope it is not already too far gone, but unfortunately it my be the case.

I'd recommend posting your own thread rather than posting on a 14 year old one so more people will reply.

It has water. I think it's dieing from stress. The house can be very noise so I think that's the problem. It's barely alive and probably won't recover. It is my first tarantula and I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

Stress wouldn't have killed it, but I recommend starting your own thread and posting a picture of the enclosure and the T so people can determine what went wrong.
