Very weird, never knew tarantulas can get prolapse???odd

Ewww ya that does not look to good.

I really think there might be a secondary bacterial infection occurring. I don't think there is anything you can do to help. Just hope it corrects itself when she molts.

I don't know what to do but just let nature take it's course, it looks like it is getting worse......rob

What is prolapse? How do they get it and how do you prevent it? Is it an arboreal thing...environment?

Just curious because Im raising a pokie sling and would like to know how to prevent sucha thing.

Definition,

"Pathology. a falling down of an organ or part, as the uterus, from its normal position."

I am not to sure how they get it,
No there is nothing you can do that I know of to prevent it,
And no it is not just restricted to arboreal I have seen it occur in the ground dwellers as well.

 

[Cocoa-Jin]

so it only happens to females...pressumably after laying a sac or something?

 

[Talkenlate04]

I don't know if there is a specific time it can happen but his female has not been mated or laid a sac.

It most often happens during a molt, more than once this happend to my T's and it does (most of the time) correct itself. This may take a few molts, and sometimes it appears to be permanent.

The only times so far I have had it happen to my Ts was after a mating. Once I got one with the condition so I cannot be sure what caused that one.

I was told by the seller it happened during shipping, H stated he examined her before shipping and there was no evidence of this (I believe him)......I did notice when I gopened up the container she was in and lifted up the paper towel she was upside down, she must have been rubbing that are on the towel or something???

Sorry Rob..

I heard your prolapse female passed away on your youtube. I'm really sorry about that.

If it's a falling of an organ, must happen with other species - like scorps. Never heard of this condition until I saw your videos. Then I thought it was a T deformation.

Update on my p. fasciata with prolapse

What are the symptoms of prolapse?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Prolapse in this case is where her insides are hanging on the outside.
