[QUOTE="goldenpumpkin, post: 212283, member: 37657"] Hi all! So I've searched around and haven't found anything like what's happening with my tarantula. Basically my mature male has been vibrating often, for a while now. I'm not referring to just the shaky movements that come with old age, nor a "happy dance", nor drumming his pedipalps to a nearby female (I don't even have a female). What happens is he'll be walking along, stop, settle into a comfortable position, then proceed to just stand there and...vibrate for a couple seconds. Then just start walking again lol. It's not the drumming thing with pedipalps. It's literally just his whole entire body vibrating while he stands still. And from what I've seen of "DKS", it looks nothing like that whatsoever.. Yes he does have wobbly/shaky movements from being old but that is a separate thing from what I'm talking about. Like, it looks like he's "shivering" almost. As if a ghost just passed through him,lol. Also, I am sorry but I do not have any video of it to show exactly what I mean...^^; So...what in the world is going on with my mature male?? Thanks in advance...! [/QUOTE]
