What a cutie!Whenever I nudge it with a q-tip it seems energetic enough.
what if I know for a fact that it doesn't move even when the lights are off? Should I be concerned then?It's just being a tarantula. Probably moves about a lot when the lights are off.
This..He's plump enough to last on him to his next molt![]()
Unless you wake up periodically to check on your T at 3am (which I have done because of the same worrying feeling you are having) You won't be able to tell much. As long as it isn't curling its legs in it is okay. Yours looks nice and healthy.what if I know for a fact that it doesn't move even when the lights are off? Should I be concerned then?
I'd challenge you to set up a cam and run it for 24 hours, although it is normal for Theraphosidae to just sit still.what if I know for a fact that it doesn't move even when the lights are off? Should I be concerned then?
As @Andrea82 said, if your T has no incentive to move, it won't waste the energy, it will store the energy for it's upcoming moult, which is the most exhausting process a tarantula goes through, stop worrying please @JayEx3, your T is fine and dandy.I'd challenge you to set up a cam and run it for 24 hours, although it is normal for Theraphosidae to just sit still.
If there is no incentive to move like predator or food, why waste resources to move to another spot? They are highly efficient animals. Waste not, want not![]()
