New concerns about possible T illness

[Amy Hinkley]

these started cropping up on my Rosea in the last week and she is still refusing to eat it is now 9 1/2 months since the last time she ate

It is normal for Roseas to go long periods without eating. Her abdomen looks a good size. Could be premolt, Roseas grow really slow. However keep an eye out for her dragging her abdomen when she walks could be a sign that you but is clogged and she can't relieve herself. its hard to tell whats cropping up on it, Looks like dirt to me. a picture of the whole tarantula would be nice.

i will get a picture in the morning of all of her i went in the room tonight that i have been keeping her and my other T in and i checked her temp and saw it was 68 F so i have moved her into a warmer room and put my MILs snakes nocturnal heat lamp on her and my other T to get their temps back up thinking this may be the reason for the LONG premolt

 

[Zurchiboy]

Yes. Warmer temperatures help speed up their metabolism.

I dont know....im not seeing what you said was "cropping up" on her. just looks like some sub on her to me.

 

[Kymura]

She just looks like she has some sub dust on her. If she allows touch, can they be brushed off? I read somewhere about a type of mite that attaches and is hard and near immobile...?

If you're talking about anything but a mature adult, or almost mature sub-adult, I agree. Some people are good at it though. I'm not one of them
