Normal
[USER=34094]@spidysoph[/USER] no problem, I'm glad to help. I agree with [USER=28710]@ilovebrachys[/USER] it sounds like your T is just grooming or preening. They are just cleaning themselves. Much like you see a bird running it's beak through it's feathers or a cat licking it's paw and running it through their fur, it's totally normal and quite cute to watch,I understand you are trying to make sure your T gets re-hydrated, I would probably not mist them directly, most T's don't like getting sprayed with water at all, in fact it may cause them to bolt in a mad dash to escape the "rain". If I remember correctly you have an Avic that escaped. If there is still webbing in it's enclosure you may try very lightly misting the webbing which would give the T another drinking option. Lightly mist, you're not trying to recreate a monsoon.T's usually, but not always, molt on their backs. If you're looking for constant movement and activity to indicate she's ok don't. T's don't move much really. Even a healthy T may stay in one position for hours or days without moving at all, totally normal. I think she may just be stressed and trying to recover. My best advice would to make sure she has a supply of fresh water and put her enclosure in a slightly darkened, quiet, peaceful area and leave her alone. Check on her a couple of times per day just to observe any behavior. But give her a few days of peace and quiet to get re-acclimated to her enclosure and re-hydrate. If she climbs back up in her web or starts webbing again that's a really good sign of normal behavior. I would wait a few (2 or 3) days before I would attempt to feed her. Monitor the feeding, if she doesn't eat within 24 hours remove the uneaten feeder and try again in a few days.
