Help! My N.Chromathus is not eating for months!

[Anabelus]

Hi there,as you can read the title my tarantula is refusing to eat for months now,I am very worried because it is too weak now...please if you know what is going on please let me know! Thank you!

Are you sure it's actually weak from starvation or just inactive? Exactly how long has it refused to eat for?

Well when it tryies to climb the glass it’s falling down because it looks like it is too weak to hold on to it...I can’t exactly tell for how long but it has been around 6 months now...

Looks to me like a mature male which would explain the lack of eating and the poor climbing skills.

t’s about 2.5 years old, when I saw it falling from the glass I decided to ask you guys for help because I thought there was something really wrong...So you think it’s normal? And when should I expect him to start eating again?

It used to climb the glasa very good,even lifting the top glasa so I had to put rocks on it

I'm sorry, but it's in the end of his life. When did he molt last time?

Its 100% a mature male...not eating isnt uncommon for a male. Nothing you have said would be abnormal for a MM.

Hes just at the end of his natural life.

He's likely only got a few months left to live. Most mature makes don't live for too long after they mature (a year, sometimes a bit more than that). He's unlikely to start eating again very often, in my experience.

Oh no..I hope not..right about time he stopped eating,first I thought he is in pre molt,which he was,but then he didn’t eat till now

You can send him to a breeder, and have some Ts back. He will end his life accomplishing his mission
