Thank you! Her water bowl is full and I spritzed the tank and her with some water. She is acting very peculiar and had her fangs out and it looked like she was literally eating her leg last night? (as you can tell I am still fairly new to this hobby and am still learning how tarantulas function). Now she is not moving at all even when I tried lighting "shaking" her enclosure. Could she be molting? Is she dead ? Either way, I will definitely give her a while before making wild death assumptions to see if she has moved or molted. I ordered a new T (Brazillian black sling) because I was sure she was gone and not coming back after a month and given that she went into an apartment complex vent, I am very happy she is back (& hopefully alive and will be back to thriving again soon) and to have two T's (they will be in separate enclosures of course).

[QUOTE="spidysoph, post: 185325, member: 34094"] Thank you! Her water bowl is full and I spritzed the tank and her with some water. She is acting very peculiar and had her fangs out and it looked like she was literally eating her leg last night? (as you can tell I am still fairly new to this hobby and am still learning how tarantulas function). Now she is not moving at all even when I tried lighting "shaking" her enclosure. Could she be molting? Is she dead :(? Either way, I will definitely give her a while before making wild death assumptions to see if she has moved or molted. I ordered a new T (Brazillian black sling) because I was sure she was gone and not coming back after a month and given that she went into an apartment complex vent, I am very happy she is back (& hopefully alive and will be back to thriving again soon) and to have two T's (they will be in separate enclosures of course).
