Sad day here.
I think I have a herniated tarantula G. rosea she had just molted over a month ago after molting she went into her hide. she came out today abdomen smaller and a large lump on her right side of her abdomen. I was shocked because I had examined her molt and everything seemed fine.
I bought her at a LPS when she was pretty big so who knows what she had been through.
Could I have possibly caused this by overfeeding before her molt?
Could a cricket have munched at her? I waited almost a month before feeding and made sure her fangs were black.
Maybe she fell before I owned her?
She has plenty of substrate so she can't fall
But she hasn't been climbing and has been in her hide most of the time. I have a feeling her next molt she will not make it
I wish there was something I could do for her.
worry that placing her in an ICU would just stress her and make her rupture.
She does not want food so I removed it.
Ill try and get better pics later.
Hoping for opinions and help to make her "comfortable".
Thanks for your time.
