Hi everyone. I have an acanthoscuria geniculata for like 4 years, never had any problem with her. Always ate and molted for like 4/5 times i think. I have been away for 10 days and i dont know if she ia dehydrated or preparing for molting. For few days doesnt eat and move. I filled the can with water and spray with water inside for humidity. Can you help me please ?
Tarantula problem or not ?

Might be prepping for a molt, the abdomen is huge. Substrate looks a tad dry though.
Make sure the water dish is filled. Let us know of any updates.

I keep my genic bone dry, except for the water dish. Do they do better with damp substrate?

I personally don't keep them "bone dry" like you would keep a GBB. They seem to do well with a bit more humidity.
An example would be one half of the enclosure being moist, and one half on the dryer side.
This is just how I do it.

she’s very pretty, and also pretty fat
she may be prepping to molt, just keep her water dish full and wait n see. i wouldn’t be worried personally
