[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 94282, member: 1152"] Do her movements look like this? [MEDIA=youtube]aksaRqT6PUc[/MEDIA] I had a very similar situation with the tarantula in this video. It molted, ate a few times, then developed those spastic movements. He died a couple days after I shot that video. Did she have access to water before this? A water dish perhaps? If it's a Rosie, I wouldn't put her in a high-humidity environment for long. They actually abhor moisture, and the moist environment will stress her even more. I know the ICU idea is really popular, and can be great for a dehydrated T, but it fails to take into account that some species do NOT do well in moist environments. Keep us updated, and get some video if you can! [/QUOTE]
