So I am dealing with a seemingly permanently unhappy curly hair. She has been like this for almost 2 years. She constantly rejects food and is very quick to asume a threat pose and to kick hairs. She is housed in a 40cm by 30cm by 30cm exotera with a slope of subsrate 2.5cm<15cm and has dug a burrow. She is about 10cm -the legs. she is the T on my profile pic.

Some spiders are just jerks, honestly. I have a grammastola pulchripes that is my most flighty and bitey tarantula, and they have a reputation of being a calm species but no one told my girl. If she’s refusing food I would stop offering for a couple of weeks and let that hunger build up. I haven’t fed my albopilosum in a couple of months now anticipating a molt. If the abdomen is big you have nothing to worry about.
