A picture could help someone make an educated guess (plus, i’ve never been mad to see an albopilosum, they’re so cute!). As far as a tarantula not eating, especially the species you have, there’s a million reasons; adjusting to a new enclosure, premolt, mature male, plain not hungry, would rather dig a burrow, wants to make you worry, just being a spider, etc. My best advice is offer food periodically, remove if it’s not eaten, and don’t sweat it. Keep water available and check in once in a while. Tarantulas are like my girlfriend, the less interaction, the better!Hope this helps and i’d love to see your little guy/gal</blockquote>
