My A. seemanii, a pretty big creature with no hooks, started acting very wierd about 8 weeks ago. It suddenly became very skittish, started throwing hair, and stopped eating. Its abdomen however, remained beige. It spent a lot of time in the water dish, although the enclosure is quite damp. I asked a lot of people, I tried a lot of things, and then I just waited. About a week ago it went into its hide and curled all the legs under it. If I opened the lid, it barely moved. Since I was sure it was dying, I decided to leave it alone until it started to stink. It even began to smell awful on the 6th day. But then the stench abated (and I was too busy to plan a burial the day of the smell) and now the legs are back in the normal position, although it is still hiding.
I guess I am just posting this as information - I am currently curious as to what is next, and glad I did not put it in the freezer to euthanize it, which I did consider.
