How Do You Know if a Tarantula Is Dead

SenoritaSarah

Howdy all, I am new to the tarantula buying thing, and I noticed only now that my tarantula isnt moving and is in the upright position. No where in my book did it say annihilation virtually the behaviors attributed to molting, so I dont know if they are supposed to move or not. I was moving the muzzle around and then information technology started shaking its arm, almost like a quivering thing. I dont know what to exercise. She hasnt been eating at all lately and she didnt seem to be dringing whatever water, simply I assumed that she was going to mold before long, but weeks passed by and she hadnt molted. Never did she seem less active or anything to that affair, so it didnt occur to me that anything else could exist wrong.

Hello all, I am new to the tarantula ownership affair, and I noticed but now that my tarantula isnt moving and is in the upright position. No where in my book did information technology say anything about the behaviors attributed to molting, so I dont know if they are supposed to move or not. I was moving the cage around and and so it started shaking its arm, most similar a quivering affair. I dont know what to exercise. She hasnt been eating at all lately and she didnt seem to be dringing any water, but I causeless that she was going to mold presently, only weeks passed by and she hadnt molted. Never did she seem less active or anything to that matter, and then information technology didnt occur to me that anything else could be wrong.

Perhaps if you could requite a petty more info well-nigh what kind of tarantula it is and what other behaviours it's been displaying...and if its legs aren't curled under and if it was doing that "quivering thing" you lot alluded to (which was it probably kicking hairs at you, if it was its back leg "quivering" near its belly) and so it should exist fine...several weeks isn't a long fourth dimension, especially if it's a large female T...

Yep demand more input!!!

LOL

I would agree that if it was moving its more then likely alright.

But let usa know more than about the T.

Thank you

Ok, its a Vesricolor, Female person...Not that erstwhile, certainly not full grown and it wasnt moving in sych a way that it was angry, it was more of a slight shivering motion. It wasnt that noticable, AND it hasnt moved AT ALL sense yesterday. PLUS information technology is potent equally a board and when I picked it up, there was aught. Its just crimpled up with all of its legs under itself which is the typical sign of death, its sprawled out on its tummy. I recollect that it got stuck in its molt. It might take been dehydrated.

Not sure either

Just thought I'd leave a quick post. I'thou sot sure whether it is only having a trouble with the molt or if it has indeed died. My wife (cricket54) and girl (xanadu1015) are the real experts in the firm. When one of them gets a take chances I'll tell them to leave a reply. Nosotros have a versicolor and beloved it.

Practiced luck...

Fro what you described-it's legs are nether information technology and information technology is not moving at all-it sounds dead. Could you possibly mail a picture of it in this state?

You tin try keeping the enclosure moist, proceed it warm and hope for the best, simply in example it is in fact moulting. Sometimes T'southward tin can take a while. But if the legs are all curled up underneath it, there is a good adventure of information technology dying or already expressionless.

It wasnt that noticable, AND it hasnt moved AT ALL sense yesterday. PLUS it is stiff every bit a board and when I picked it up, at that place was nothing. Its just crimpled up with all of its legs under itself which is the typical sign of decease, its sprawled out on its tummy. I recall that information technology got stuck in its molt. It might have been dehydrated.

That sounds like a dead T. Defiently NOT molting, not after that long and yes, Ts practice move when they molt, they have to in society to become out of the old exo. If it'due south stiff and all curled upward under its self, I would say information technology's a gonner.

Ok, its a Vesricolor, Female...Not that sometime, certainly not full grown and it wasnt moving in sych a fashion that it was angry, information technology was more of a slight shivering movement. It wasnt that noticable, AND it hasnt moved AT ALL sense yesterday. PLUS information technology is stiff as a lath and when I picked it upwardly, there was nothing. Its just crimpled up with all of its legs under itself which is the typical sign of decease, its sprawled out on its breadbasket. I remember that it got stuck in its molt. It might have been dehydrated.

The abdomen volition get soft in a few days if information technology is in fact dead and it will begin to scent.

If the legs are crimped upwards with no motion, I would say dead.

Why would information technology have been dehydrated? Was in that location admission to water?

SenoritaSarah

Ok so yea...Its dead. There was access to water, only for a couple of weeks it wasnt drinking anything or eating. Its not curled up under itself, but its abdomen is actually week and yesterday when I picked information technology up to further audit my versi, its belly almost bankrupt. The smell too isnt then swell. Well I gave it a shot. I accept talked to others and they said that it most probable died of a bad moult and it got stuck inside of it. Thankyou all for your aid, I but wish something could have been done. Thank you again

Could have been Sudden avic death syndrome, happens sometimes. Pitiful for your loss! Nosotros're all behind you. Time to get another.

For consolation go another one. Sorry almost your loss.

Sorry

Sorry to hear the T died. As the others have said don't allow this discourage you. My married woman and daughter have had a couple practise a header and land on the flooring and die while they were handling them. The lastest was the blondi I got my son-in-law for Christmas. So they went to the Maryland show and got another i. That's what we all do.

Is it time for a spider road trip?

my pinkish toe is acting weird

howdy, so i have had Gizmo for about 9 calendar month now, he is a pink toe tarantula. Anyways, he has gone through his first molt and did pretty well, only took him 1 calendar month. Well-nigh mid December he bilt his shelter ( which you cannot see through) and entered his second molt. Since then - no sign of him. And so today, i took a wink low-cal and glanced in there for a second. he is curled kinda, but the thing is HE IS E'er CURLED, it's like he loves being like that, so seeing him curled didnt bother me at first. That was until i signed in here and read your communication on how if it's curled it's dead. At present i'chiliad freaking out big time. does anyone know how i tin be sure? Lada
