worried about my T

[turion68]

i just got home tonight and i noticed my Aphonopelma.sp New River did'nt look quite right. she seemed to be sitting with her legs curled under her. i thought she was dead, but no when i went into her tank to check her i managed to get her to move a little. she seemed to be walking funny kinda like she was drunk. i am new to the hobby and have never had a sick spid so unsure what my next step would be. i would be grateful for any suggestions as i am quite worried. she is a s/a female and seemed fine yesterday when i changed her water. again thanks in advance for any help.

they can nolt upright so you never know. make a icu unit and pop her in there is your 100 percent posative that she is not molting

A picture would be helpful, but what you've described sounds similar to the effects of dehydration.

[turion68]

im not exactly a professional on tarantulas because i have only had mine for around a year, but what i would do is post a picture ASAP but leave the tarantula alone!

then once picture has been uploaded you can then do appropriate action. Im only saying this because there could be a possible moult, and if you disturb, then you can cause major problems!
