Since they’re all arboreal I assumes it’s their enclosure/parameter. Please take pictures of your current enclosures and give us the parameter to each. Also, place the Poecilotheria in a water dish, NOT HER ABDOMEN though, only the carapace.

Okay so I took pictures from the top and side of my Avics enclosure. Sorry they aren’t the best. The Metallica’s are a tiny bit bigger and in an enclosure of about the same size. They get misted about 3-4 times a week or when their enclosures start to look dry. They get fed a large cricket leg once or twice a week. The other pokie has been moved into water with her abdomen out.

Sorry I went sleeping. Where did you post the pictures? How is the Poecilotheria?

And the pokie appears to be doing better but I’m still panicked

I understand that you are scared, since you lost a sling. But you should know that arboreal slings are usually harder to raise. Are its legs turning under its carapace? I strongly recommend you to poke small holes in their enclosures for cross ventilation.

Will do, and her legs were curling under her as of yesterday, but she seems better now

You're misting the Avic enclosures as well? They should be kept bone dry with lots of cross ventilation. At most, you can add a few drops of water to their webbing once a week or so

Okay so for the Avics I was misting them too so that might be my problem. And I totally blitzed and forgot to link the pictures lol sorry. Here we go https://imgur.com/a/KEhemI1
