One of my Haplopelmas is looking off colour.
I bought her as a minax, though she doesn't look like one at all lol
I'm not sure about her sex, but I'm pretty sure she's female.
About 3 weeks ago she went off her food, I thought it may be a moult but she only moulted a few months ago.
Her legspan is about 3 inches.
When I bought her, one of her legs was quite thin and lacking hair, after she moulted her leg looks just the same as her other ones.
Lately, about 2 weeks ago, she started looking a bit ill, she was moving quite slowly.
She's stopped using her burrow sits huddled up in the corner.
Last few days, she's gone really ill looking, I think she's going to die!
Typical Haplopelma jumps if you move the tank and you certainly couldn't touch them! But atm she's not responding, I've lightly breathed on her, and she doesn't move, I got quite worried by that so tried gently nudging her with some tweezers.
Back a couple of months ago, if I'd done that, she'd have jumped then scuttled down her burrow, but now she just slowly moves one of her legs.
Her legs are slightly curled round her atm.
She's definitely not dehydrated, she has a water bowl in there and her abdomen isn't shrivelled or anything.
Temps are 26-27'C in the day and a couple of degrees lower at night.
Any one know what's up with her? I've never had a tarantula act like this before, it's got me really worried![Sad](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
