worried about my T

Tarantulas don't typically curl their legs in premoult.

Are you entirely sure it's a female by the way?

sorry pic quality is crap but best i could do for the moment. she was sitting next to water dish and i managed to get her to move a few steps to where she is now

She doesn't look dehydrated. When was the last time she ate? Also, what are the temps like?

These spiders were all wild caught specemins, so it could simply be that you have an old female that is nearing the end of her life.

[turion68]

she ate a couple of weeks ago and temp is 72 degrees

i was told she was sub adult with a couple more molts left to go but again i'm new to this

Ok, your best bet would be to put her in ICU - Place her in a clean, moderately ventilated container lined only with kitchen roll. Mist the kitchen roll with warm, but not hot water, and then gently move her into the container.

Put a lid on it, and then place it somewhere warm, and dark. The airing cupboard is a good choice, or on top of the fridge. Leave her be as to cause as little stress as possible, and then hope for the best mate.

Im going dehydration especially since its right next to the waterbowl doing that. Legs under the body is a bad sign. It could have reached the end of its life but id say get it in an ICU promptly.

Get a faunarium or RUB with ventilation and line the bottom with paper towling and give it a good spray.
