[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 219449, member: 30996"] Hi At that stage enclosure setup is not important. The tarantula is clearly on the way out.Its needs water desperately as said before get rid of the gel(tarantulas can't really have a drink of that ) fill the dish with fresh water and put its mouth in it(Do not worry about drowning as tarantulas breed through their book lungs on the abdomen).Tarantula dehydrated like this will not be able to move efficiently due to low body fluids (think hydraulics ). Also if you moist the substrate make sure you don't over do it and make the enclosure stuffy.ICU is bad for Avicularia sp too. Thats about all you can do atm.It may be too far gone but at least you tried. If it perks up then start thinking about putting him in arboreal enclosure. [/QUOTE]
