[Teacher With A Spider]

Hello,
My tarantula is spitting out a very thick row of web (white stuff behind her abdomen) and almost looks to be throbbing as it comes out. She was in the death curl but has come out of it...should I be worried?
Thanks,
TEACHER With A SPIDER

Could possibly just be poop but pictures would be helpful.

I agree, looks like poop. How old is she? Sorry to say, I think she's at her end...

Awesome! Maybe she is constipated! I have never seen her do this before.

 

[Teacher With A Spider]

Have you ever seen a tarantula pulse before? It almost looks like she is heavy breathing, as it is that constant...

 

[Kymura]

Possibly her heartbeat

 

[Teacher With A Spider]

Interesting. This is more of a whole body pulse....

 

[Kymura]

Could she be trying to molt? T's do on occasion molt upright.

 

[MiaWolf42]

How old is she?

 

[Teacher With A Spider]

How old is she?

That I don't know...she is pretty big and I have had her for 5 years, I am thinking she is older than 7

Maybe. Does she have a water bowl?

 

[Teacher With A Spider]

yep she molted at the end of May....

 

[Kymura]

How exactly does she seem to be acting now? She may have only been in a stress curl for any number of reasons, even a fall from climbing. What's her enclosure and set up like?

 

[MiaWolf42]

I am curious. I have been thinking of her all night.

She is still with us! Still as motionless as a rock and not pulsing right now. The kids were beyond excited (as was I) to see her still breathing this morning. No web so far today (or poop).
We are keeping all 8 legs crossed and hoping for the best.

It's pretty much all you can do, all fingers crossed.

Hi Phil, can you post some pictures of the T and its enclosure?
