Message: <blockquote data-quote="desert voice" data-source="post: 28264" data-attributes="member: 3066">sorry i haven't responded sooner.  the email notification got lost in all my tons of emails.  i really think it's cool you went to so much trouble for this.  i guess i'm just afraid to overdo trying to take care of her and possibly make things worse.  she's gaining so much movement daily, waving her legs around when i give her water and more resistance in the legs, not so floppy/unresponsive when i put her upright again but not by any means walking or anything.  i have to get video of her moving so you can see but my camera battery cover won't close suddenly.  anyway, according to the other woman whose video i sent, hers didn't eat for 7 months and was in perfect shape after 11 months.  i was just thinking it could give her a boost cuz i know this is a trauma to her body.  i found a nice terrarium for her at a yard sale, bleached it, rinsed it and left it in the glaring sun for a couple of days to be sure it's sanitized so i'll be moving her into that soon.thanks for your correspondence.  it makes it less stressful to talk things out with someone who has experience with tarantulas.linda</blockquote>
