Tarantula Enclosure Fell.

[RxToscino]

Hello, first time posting and a new tarantula keeper. Before I explain I know I messed up and I’m sorry. So I was taking a pre killed cricket out of my Cyriocosmus leetzi 1/8 enclosure. It is a tiny vial for the tiny guy to live in. When I went to take the cricket out I must’ve dropped the vial with him in it about 5 ft at least. Afterwards I found him walking on the floor and his enclosure sprayed coco fiber everywhere. After cleaning and new substrate I left him alone for about 2 hours. I then checked on him and he is motionless so I opened up the top and poured the enclosure out. I know I shouldn’t have done this and I’m sorry I love these guys so much and I was so worried I ignored most advice online. I poked him around and he wouldn’t move at all even if flipped. I put him back in his enclosure closed the lid and went to bed. When I looked this morning he still hasn’t moved and it looks like a half death curl but I’m not completely sure.
Thank you for reading!

May have had a rupture either external or internal.

If it is leaking hemolymph, then applying cornstarch on the area with a soft brush (avoiding covering the book lungs) is recommended, but your sling is too small to be able to identify a bleed.

All you can do is, if it is on its back, place a tiny drop of water onto its mouth (just under the fangs,). Then leave to see if it does start moving again. If there is no movement over the next few days, then it's not good news ..

Might die might live.

They get shocked a bit due to such things. Sometimes takes a while before they behave normal.

Ignoring good advice-not good.

Learn from mistakes move on.
