She looks pretty normal tho, walks around, is pretty fat and builded an emporium of web and dirt in 1 day. I was thinking she was looking for something to drag into her burrow like leaf litter so she was feeling it out. Hope it was just normal schizo tarantuling and not a sickness.Appears to be DKS but I'm not 100% sure. I'm sure that cases vary from mild to severe. Usually, the only cure is for the tarantula to molt out. I've had a couple of tarantulas with it. One sadly passed and the other one molted out of it and turned out just fine. I hope that's not the issue with yours but it's a possibility. I hope the best for you and your pretty critter.
Looks like she's trying to pull something up. The movement looks to be with purpose so I'd rule out DKS. DKS isn't a disease it's a set of symptoms and there referred to as Dyskinetic syndrome the symptoms being uncordinated jerky movements.Hey so uuuh I got Amazonius Germanii and she is doing a thing. She a schizo?
"DKS is a fatal disease that affects the central nervous system of tarantulas" so they get sick. Not sure what you are trying to say.Looks like she's trying to pull something up.

That is too philosophical. She isn't sick and that is what matters to me.DKS, or Dyskinetic Syndrome, in tarantulas is not a specific disease but rather a collection of neurological symptoms that severely affect the tarantula's motor functions. It is characterized by:
Jerky, twitchy, or uncoordinated movements
Loss of motor control, making it difficult or impossible for the tarantula to walk, eat, or drink
In some cases, abnormal leg positioning, such as lifting legs above the carapace.
Just saying by definition it's not a disease A disease is something we know the cause of, so DKS would therefore be a disorder.
Yeah I said that in my 1st post before all this, that it is not DKS. Great that you're asking the question though instead of just palming it off as weird Tarantula stuff lolThat is too philosophical. She isn't sick and that is what matters to me.
I mean it seemed weird and it also looked normal. I will rather post it with evidence maybe it will help someone later on. I am paranoid with those behaviours.Yeah I said that in my 1st post before all this, that it is not DKS.

I got an LP that does the same don't have video but here is a photoI mean it seemed weird and it also looked normal. I will rather post it with evidence maybe it will help someone later on. I am paranoid with those behaviours.
My geniculata after moult lays flat 4 legs front 4 back and does push ups fast and then lays down. It looks like a bug in matrix. I will try to show you guys if I get it on camera.
Yeah but does she do like lightning fast push ups? In that pose exactly.I got an LP that does the same don't have video but here is a photo View attachment 74524
Yeah that's what I said, I just don't have a video of it, only seems to be for like a week after a moult thoughYeah but does she do like lightning fast push ups? In that pose exactly.
I got scared 1st time I saw it lol
She is 2,5CM female. Isn't that too small for maturity and drumming behaviour?Figured I would throw it out there but could this be drumming behavior as in wanting to mate. My Psalmopeous Ecclesiasticus drummed one time during feeding and later dropped a phantom egg sack! Matter of fact my Psalmopeous Emeraldus has dropped a phantom sack now as well! What's up with my Psalmo girls..lol!
Yeah I was just making sure. It looks so goofy, the lightning fast I wonder if it is because they want to go down straightened but cannot because their appendages don't work perfectly yet.Yeah that's what I said, I just don't have a video of it, only seems to be for like a week after a moult though
Not sure about size and maturity in this species but I hope it is not DKS! Some primates when little will engage in mock mating and have witnessed the drumming first hand with my Ecclesiasticus and ended up with the phantom egg sack. The Emeraldus never drummed that I know of . She webbed herself in and I thought she was going to molt! Checked her the next day, and boom , another phantom egg sack! BTW not good with the CM method of sizing but my Ecclesiasticus was around 4" DLS when did the drumming thing. Maybe a little less.She is 2,5CM female.

2.5cm is a tiny bit smaller than 1inchNot sure about size and maturity in this species but I hope it is not DKS!

2,5cm of body lenght not leg span2.5cm is a tiny bit smaller than 1inch
1inch equals 2.54cm
