You mean to say it lacks bulbous/enlarged pedipalps or palpal bulbs, with front legs often developing tibial hooks (as is the case with Ceratogyrus spp.)  Whatever the case—200 is far too step for a female, with males IMO worthless.I’ve received similar specimens, which would always bounce back like a plant. You should have—hopefully—observed this improvement by now, having offered or even slightly submerged in a shallow dish. The latter should exclude book-lungs, with opisthoma left out. Dehydration could also be symptomatic rather than the route of the cause.I’ve heard the opposite to be true on AB which seems to be some kind of greener grass. While the hobby generally attracts good people, it's still social media. People are fallible; I see plenty of help being offered though. Like it or not—be open to what you ask for.</blockquote>
