My tarantula, Colby is around 33-36 years old (she was gifted to me by a friend almost 30 years ago and she was already an adult and molting almost every year when I first got her). Her last molt was a rough one. It happened in October and I had to help her. Now, she is walking funny, she has only eaten one cricket since her molt and today when she was walking, it looked like she had a seizure and she laid herself down flat on the substrate. I haven't noticed any webbing as of late either. I know she is old, but does anyone know about signs of old age? Thanks,Tara</blockquote>
