Hello, I am the proud owner of 2 tarantulas (Grammostola pulchra & Grammostola rosea) and many other critters, mostly unwanted pets. I bring them to parties and classrooms to teach about their natural history and responsible pet ownership. www.noniesark.com I am logging in today because I'm worried about my 7ish year old "Carmen". For about 6 months, she's been acting strange and "fidgety". I have given her a long break and haven't handled her, but I want to follow up on what the problem is! Our normal routine is approximately 3 days a week, for up to 4 times a day, at 5-8 min, she has been handled for the past 5 years. She was aprox 2 years old when I got her. She seems to not be "standing". Kind of dragging herself around in a scared frenzy. Please see the series of videos to see what I'm referring to. I DO NOT normally poke at her like this... this is just to show what she is doing so you can help me, help her. Thanks!!
