NEED HELP

[IntermittentSygnal]

Exactly my thought. It’s not curling in those pics, it’s laying out like it is trying to molt.

Wait and hope GBB has a successful Molt after all.
Best Wishes 2 U Both.

It seems there's not much to be done here other than to provide water bowl and wait.

It's quite possible - and the best scenario here is - that it's trying to moult.

Good luck. Please keep us updated when you can.

Edited to add - just noticed that several days have now passed. Hopefully a positive outcome here?

Im not pointing fingers at this OP in particular, but i wish when ppl ask for help that they would give feedback.

the whole point is to learn, even for us. We give our advice/time. We like to know whats happened.

exactly, the OP has turned it into "our problem" and we are invested in it. You can't leave us hanging, good or bad we can all learn something from the outcome

In this situation we need photos.

after that we can try and guess.

i will assume this was an internet order. Unboxed and now it looks bad. Travel can put a lot of effort on tarantulas.

first things first: new enclosure has a water dish.

Ts wont just do this if dehydrated. Ts have “relaxed” positions. They stretch, they will , can and do tuck a few legs underneath... At times when they are calm and not stressed. Its been seen before many times.. it with multiple species. People need to rule it out first. Of Ts are properly in the right setup. You can observe these different behavior patterns.

thats not to say your specific spider isnt dehydrated right now. Which it could be.

anytime your taking on a new T. Especially a few ivebought from local shops around the country. Most of the times we make sure ourTs are transitioning safely and heathy.

I am not sure if you are adressing my reply directly, or overall situation.

I am going to assume you have read all the posts in this thread before replying.
