Also, I'm not sure what species a red hair is (so many species fit the description of having red hair) so if you know the scientific name, could you also please include that?The staple of tarantula First Aid is to give water immediately to avoid dehydration. As she is probably still soft following the moult, it's not a good idea to move her so the best thing you can do right now is to put a shallow waterdish right in front of her, so she can easily drink. The weird movement could even be down to just post-moult behaviour. They do all sorts of strange things following moults as they get used to their new skin.</blockquote>
