Hi there. I'm a new Chilean Rose Hair owner and tarantula owner in general. I've had my baby for over a year now and she (?) molted once last January. I'm worried because she hasn't eaten anything in about 5-6 months now and her legs have cracks in them (which have been there for a while now). I feel like she's trying to molt, but she just can't. I bought a humidifier to raise the moisture around her tank and was thinking of getting a lamp for over the tank to raise the temp a bit since I'm in Michigan and it's been colder in my house and dryer with the drastic weather changes. Also, I've misted in the corners of her tank as well.
Is the lamp too much heat or light? Am I right to be concerned? Should I try and get her a cricket or two to try and eat? It's my understanding that she will not eat until she molts and to not try and feed her until she does.
Also, underneath her legs in her joints appears to be almost clear. I feel that's not a good sign, but I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and info on what I should do or expect.
Thank you.
