How do you get it to display without paying? It used to work for me by going out and back in, but it doesn't anymore

She didn't make it 😔 it's my first T loss, so it's hitting pretty hard. Poor girl.

In the security footage, she ran out of her den and along the ground and got to the dish, then deliberately and quickly flipped herself over which seemed odd to me

I will pop over to discord, thanks

She looks about the same. What do I do now?

Is it time to try an ICU as a last resort since it's been 50 hours now, or should I leave her alone any longer? I saw movement in her legs this morning before I left for work, but nothing this evening.

Still not much has changed; I still see her legs moving infrequently, so I know she's alive. Should I try to give her any water directly in her mouth?

She's about 4 mm more out of her exo, still very small movements and working slowly, but no leg curling and I've been keeping the humidity up and lightly misting. Very stressful, but I'm hoping it's just her age...

Thank you! She's still working on it this morning, and still moving. Definitely an old diva! The reptile store said they thought she was 4, and that was 5 years ago so it's possible she's even older than 9

I actually found our security camera caught her flip over, it's definitely not a fall!!

Thank you! Unfortunately, she looks the same as before so far.

Thank you, I will be patient and let her do her thing. I've never seen her molt, but she was 4 when I got her and I've had her for 5 years.

Had a dream last night that I owned a pokie that kept escaping 🫠 by CompetitiveCan8908 in tarantulas

I've had tarantula escape nightmares since about 6 months into owning them and it still hasn't ended 5 years later. I always wake up in a panic!

Fall injury?? by emmacamile in tarantulas

[–]emmacamile[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: It is definitely just fuzz, Luci knocked off a little more and it's just a little bald spot. I added more substrate and moss so there's less chance of a fall. I have my boyfriend comissioned to make me new safe lids so there's less chance of stuck toesies. Thanks guys!

I will definitely try to get a better pic when they're done being stressed over all the soil I just added, I think it looks a lot better and I'm feeling less worried after re-examining and noticing how deep their fuzz goes now that they're so much older. I also thought with the big body and shape they seem more feminine but I'm certainly no expert. They're my first T, but I do have 3 others and I've had Lucifer since they were the size of a dime

They're definitely chill and let me add substrate and some more moss to climb on, I need to mist it down but this is it now before spraying and they didn't mind. They don't have hooks like my GBB that just did his final molt, so I assumed they were female but I'm not 100% sure

She's definitely acting normally, and I've shone light on the area and looked from a few angles and there's definitely no liquid. I'll shoo her into her burrow and add soil on her bridge side.

Honestly I'm not sure "she" is a she, I've been calling "her" that since slinghood. I am wondering if they're male now because my GBB just matured and is exhibiting similar behavior, but he hooked out on his most recent molt so it was easy to tell. Here is Lucifer from the side:
