    Lasiodora Parahybana Sling, need help

    First of all heya all, sorry i havent posted on the boards in such a long time.
    I was wondering if anyone could give me some advise with a problem i have.

    One of the lasiodora slings i have is looking a bit sorry for him/her self.

    They're still fairly small (2cm) or so 3 at a push. One is moving fairly gingerly and is pretty un-responsive.
    Could anyone suggest something i could do to try perk it up? I've ensured some moisture, a light spraying....not sure what else to do.

      Well, only got 1 other. Which seems fine. So i could perhaps just move it nearish to a heat mat im using for another tarantula yeah?

        might it be dehydration? sometimes spiders get distracted from important things like drinking... i've found hand watering helps sometimes..

            True to your word, a hour or so closer to the heat mat and he/she is looking alot happier now I think i actually worked out why it happened, we lost our boiler for a few days so the average temp in my room must have dropped. Gona keep them near the heat mat for the future though
            Thanks very much!

              Glad to hear it. Just had an inkling, as I've seen T's look disorientated and sluggish when they are a bit cold.
