Dehydration? 它脱水了吗 Does it have a water dish?

Administer water to the pedipalps ASAP, whatever you’re keeping her in whilst ill needs to be well ventilated.

Need photos of the entire enclosure and husbandry specifics to solve the problem, we can’t help otherwise...

That enclosure needs more ventilation holes, and two, she needs a bigger enclosure.

It is she alive? How you found her? Looks dead to me sorry.

OK,I will make sour other Poe's ventilation .shes only 6",but the enclosure is 8"x8"x10", it still too small?
Sadly she's gone,it looks like lossing some contro ability,so the fluid concentrat at her's abdomen.I found her stay on the substrate and looks weak when I want to breeding another Poe.

Sorry for your loss. Much more ventilation was needed. I’d recommend you check out the Poecilotheria threads here for info.

I put it in the ICU.
Wish I caught this earlier, ICU’s are deathtraps for T’s, all keeping them in a stuffy environment will do is encourage disease and mold. Especially after the problem seems to be lack of ventilation. Not your fault though, lots of misinformation has been spread around regarding them. Some more research on here and you’ll be good.

Best of luck in your future T keeping endeavours!:)
