[QUOTE="Tara Hamrick, post: 139373, member: 28407"] I have a 6 year old Chilean Rose Hair named Elise. I'm a textbook overthinker so I may be worried for nothing but I'd like another opinion. She has recently stopped eating, has spread a thick layer of web along the entire surface area of the substrate in her enclosure, and has been picking up her water sponge (which we only started using about 6 months ago since she seemed to be having trouble drinking without it) and carrying it around. We thought maybe she was trying to tell us her sponge was dirty so we've gotten her some brand new ones but she still does the same thing. She's been doing that for a month or so. I thought she was possibly getting ready to molt but she's getting skinnier and has yet to molt and it's been almost 2 months since the behaviour started. She won't take any type of food. She's pretty lethargic as well. When I take her out, she doesn't really react to my fingers like she usually does. She just kind of sits there and let's me scoop her up. Not sure if I should be worried, but I am so any information helps! Thanks! Pictures are from a few months back when she was a little more healthy looking.[ATTACH]32907[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
