I understand how scary this may be, but please don't hurt yourself. Also I understand you were probably shaking in the picture but we'll need a clearer picture in order to help you. I really hope that you and your tarantula are ok, and please call a crisis hotline if you're planning on further self-harm. I'm a newbie but I hope more expereinced folks will reply, but I'll be here to talk and do my best to help until then.

Clearer picture would help a lot... Is the T moving at all? What is the T's position right now? Did you notice any hemolymph after the fall? Cornstarch is what you would use to stop the bleeding if the T was bleeding...

Hi, she was moving but now it's hardly any movements... I already did put cornstarch on her just incase but it didn't really do anything and I would get a clearer picture but I'd have to use flash and I'm worried that might scare her

EDIT: She has offically passed, I feel so bad cause she was so sweet, even though spiders can't love I did feel like me and mittens had this unexplainable bond, I knew I would mess this up when I first got her, cause that's just what I do, I cut my baby's life short and thought I would get to see her grow up into what she deserved to, I'm so sorry guys and thank you so much for ya'lls support. I feel SO BAD.

All you can do is learn from your mistakes, and sometimes accidents happen but I don't think this should stop you from hobbying. All I can suggest is take more precautions and learn to forgive yourself. I'm certain most T owners have made some detrimental mistakes while learning the hobby, so please do not hate yourself for this. I'm quite certain you are and will be a great owner.
