Weird fast

[Edan bandoot]

Extreme lethargy has set in, I suspect it will be dead within the week.

 

[Edan bandoot]

It's still alive, although obviously thirsty.

 

[Edan bandoot]

Still alive, has been hunkered in one corner for the past 2 weeks

Still alive, looks 2 inches away from death though.

80 days without food or water is impressive.

Try to keep her moister than usual if your enclosure's ventilation allows it, to reduce even more the dehydration process.

Already doing that, here's what the situation looks like right now.

She climbed out of the water dish as I was filling it, but she's back trying to drink again :/

 

[Edan bandoot]

Still alive, sits in her waterdish most of the time.

The hair on her chelicerae is starting to wear off.

Hope she a molt soon and sorts the problem!

She's so lethargic that I doubt she'd be able too

Did you try to increase the temp and the moisture to trigger a molt?

Increased moisture, not temp, but she's kept at 25C rn so it's not like she's cold.

You have the option to increase it to 28-30C?

I made a little experiment with my Ts to "confirm" my previous experiences by increasing the moisture and the temp to 27C in my vivs, same as outer temps, and both molted within a week to each other.

Maybe it could help, but I cant guarantee you nothing. But if you feel that now she wouldn't be to trigger a molt, maybe I'd give it a try.

That's the post:

Molting experiment

Well last week after answering a thread about molting problems and knowing that my Ts molted after a big storm and more humid weather (it can be a coincidence too) I decided knowing that a big storm (summer storm) was coming, to "mimic" the effects of that storm on my vivariums. I moisted the...

I don't have any safe way of increasing temperature unfortunately, only lowering.

And a heat mat?

I know that in the other side of the pond they have a bad name, but using them propperly can be helpful. If you decide to give it a try, we can give you some hints.

Forget using lamps directly, they can dehydrate way too fast. But, you can use it indirectly, heating a cabinet or something else that passively may heat the enclosure.

I saw this coming. But still was hoping for a better outcome.

Sorry for your loss.
