Sick t.apophysis. Any advice?

[Noodlelove]

Just come home to find Ungoliant curled in the corner out in the open. She’s been sat there a couple of days.

Normally any movement and she shoots into her burrow but I managed to move the enclosure and open the lid to spray some water underneath her without her moving.

Room is usually around 20deg, but been very cold today and it’s currently 18.5deg.
Could she just be cold??
Apart from the lethargy and curled legs she looks in great condition.

Hope she gets better I hate losing things too it's too sad. But certainly is a cold-blooded creature it could just be the cold. Mine have been hibernating or brumating or whatever they call it when our spiders go underground

I don’t want to get too hopeful just yet, but she seems to be looking better…was a little more responsive when I moved the enclosure

Nice. Well my adult G. rosea spent much of the night sitting in her water dish, which I don’t remember her doing before. Drinking yes but never such a long time. So I think we are all rooting for you.

Hopefully she does better

I think she maybe okay…she’s still not bolting when I move the enclosure, but she seems more alert, is reacting a little more and definitely looks better. It will probably be a day or two until I can fully relax thou

Sounds hopeful. Got my fingers crossed for you!

I think shes going to be okay. Thank you everyone for the advice and crossed fingers

Well I think Arachnoclown did all the heavy lifting. Another save for him.

She molted today! From what I can see of her down in her burrow she looks good!

Here she is freshly molted and looking gorgeous

I really like the reddish/ pink hairs contrasting the black/ deep brown of its body. Nice!

Her carapace almost has a green tinge to it.
All those fresh hairs ready to kick off
