Hi all! I need some help for my poor MeiDonna. She is an Plexippus paykulli jumpng spider. A very rare and wonderful girl she is, and is the love of my life.
Yesterday she wanted to come out and explore, so I got out my camera and let her go where she wanted. (She never tries to escape, and she "knows" not to leave the PC desk) As always, she was her usual self, full of curiousity and getting into everything. I noticed nothing unusual in her behaviour.
Today I checked on her and she was quite lethargic. Normally she gets excited and waits to see if I have food, or if she gets to come out. I had to actually pick her up, and even then she only moved enough to get a better grip on my finger. THAT, for her, is VERY strange behaviour.
I decided to take some pics, to see if I could find something wrong with her. As I looked at the pics, I saw this...
If anyone knows what this is, please tell me what it is, and if I can do something to help her???? She shares an enclosure with another female & male, all 3 are mature. They get along very well. MeiDonna shares a coin-wrapper tube with the female; the male has his own corner.
The enclosure is well-ventilated, plenty of water is always available, and all the decor and substrate is very clean.
Any help/advice is very much appreciated in advance. Help me save my sweetheart! Thx to all who reply. (Look at areas of her eyes) S.
