Hello everyone,
I have a question and I hope that you can help me. So I brought a chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 6 months ago. She refused food for the whole 6 months, often looks like she wants to eat the roach, like approaching, putting her legs on it and hovering over it, but then she pulls away and seems stressed. She has webbed her enclosure up over the first 4 months, so I think she accepted it, but she stopped recently. She is really really thin and seems weak. She curls up quite often, sometimes it looks like half a deathcurl. I usually touch her with a bruch to see if she is okay. She usually puts her body on the substrate, I haven't seen her with her body up and walking for months. I don't know if she is just very docile or if she is to weak to do stuff, but she acts like a Grammostola and let's you do literally everything: taking waterdish out, putting stuff in the enclosure, removing it, even stuff, that is right in front of her fangs. She had white dots on her head so I gently brushed them away with a brush, scared that it was molt or something, no reaction from her (it wasn't mold). Sometimes she moves with curled legs, like she isn't able to stretch or move them fully. She has had bald spots on her abdomen for the whole 6 months, but they haven't darkened yet. So I asume she is in premolt, but her moves and resting positions just aren't normal to me, so I am actually very worried. One time I found her lifeless in the waterdish, like all in, body under water. I got so scared and gently pulled her up and out, she came back to life a bit later. I don't know what's wrong with her, maybe I'm overreacting but I really think that something is very wrong.
