Aren't there plenty of articles on line that talk about handling Ts as well as in books as well. In the tarantula keeper's guide mentions it numerous times and even has 4 pages on telling you how to pick them up properly. Thank you for your input. I have increased the humidity and put in a larger shallow dish for water which will allow her to sit in it more easily so she can drink. Hopefully this will help. I will say the weather has been all over the place during this time of her illness and one night it is in the 40's and daytime highs in the 60's then the next day almost 90 for a high and lows of 70.</p></blockquote><p></p>
