1 of my balfouri, been like this for 3 days. Really active then resting then really active again. Ive increased hummidity and temp slightly. Can i get any other advice please?
@Arachnoclown , @Thistles , @KezyGLA ....any thoughts? I had tried to offer some support but seems strange to me and to add....apparently the other Balfouri slings in the colony are staying away from it.
If the others are staying away I would separate that one off. It COULD be something internal, we can’t see it but the others detect it. I emphasise could because I’m not saying it is but a possibility, find it strange that the others are staying back.

Only the last 3 days. Before that it was fine and in the main communal bit with the others. It came out into the open as far away from the webbing as it could then flipped.
It is also the biggest of them all
This is total speculation but I was reading a discussion the other day, where it was suggested that another underlying reason of dks symptoms could be a genetic problem, which is triggered by extreme stress to the spiders body. And this could explain why it often presents not long after the spider has moulted, or having been shipped to a buyer etc.
I'm not sure but certainly is food for thought.
