My rose hair went into a molting position with her legs curled in. She would stagger around the enclosure as if she was drunk, her legs were flailing around as if she had no control over them at all, it was really quite pitiful to watch. They are in no danger. I dropped water into her mouth with a pipette, but nothing I could do was going to save her and her response got slower and slower until she died.
I would try to move the legs and carefully put a drop of water in its mouth parts. Do not catch your own Tarantula food as it is not sterile or organic and is very high risk.
I have no idea how to save this creature and if it’s even possible.
I replied to this, but it’s not showing up! As I do not like watching anything suffer, I’m considering euthanizing him before it gets worse.
T’s that are molting/premolt appreciate a little extra humidity. I appreciate the help. I hope you can help me; I’m pretty sure my grammostola is dead. It wasn’t odd behaviour,but then I noticed she didn’t move at all- At first I thought it might be her time to molt, but she’s been in this position for at least 3 days. Hi, Johnny. If you have a further question about whether or not your tarantula may be in a death curl, try a Google Image search for “tarantula death curl” and compare. I’m so sorry! I’m still leaning towards heat though….I feel just awful about it too. .
about a day maybe 2 before she fliped over she was jerky and uncoordinated.
I give my roaches dry cat food that I lightly wet down with a few drops of water.
She wouldn’t have been exposed to any pesticides or chemicals that I am aware of unless my apartment complex came and sprayed without me knowing.

Afraid poor little Poot is gone. Although no one is completely sure what causes DKS, some theories are pesticides (including flea and tick treatments for dogs and cats), micro organisms infecting the T, mold, or other toxins. While there aren’t many illnesses tarantulas can get, there is one deadly disease for tarantulas that cannot be cured – and that’s Dyskinetic Syndrome (DKS). I don’t know what to do. How long have you had her for and how large is she? She can no longer climb it’s the strangest thing. I do hope that your other guys remain happy and healthy!
20 years ago, I almost made the same mistake with my first T. I found her upside down and thought she was dead!
For example, my Phormictopus cancerides make amazing size jumps as slings and juveniles. It’s thought to be caused by a number of things, including chemical or pesticide exposure, exposure to extreme temps, and fungus. Im concerned about my spider, she has been in that position for about almost two weeks now, and has not moved out of that position, she is lying on her back with her legs open, but not moving at all it does not look like she is molting, it does not look like she is in a death curl either. Do you know what happened? Let me know some more info and I’ll try to help. I was wondering if she could just be in shock or if there is a possibility of internal damage that might cause her to pass? When I look back, I think that there was something not right about her in all the time that she was with me. No fruit loops or cookies! Any advice would be appreciated. Notice the movements each time I touch the side of the enclosure. And I’m hoping that it doesn’t start. ( Log Out / The poor little thing died during the night anyway, but I do hope that I gave it all the right care in its short life. My girlfriend wants her put in clear resin. Ts will build mats to help them sense when prey is nearby and to give them a safe place to eat, and they don’t lay them down before every meal. Oh, man…a power outage during a cold day when I’m not home is one of my biggest fears! She WILL occasionally drop prey and web it up a bit if I give her more than one item. Can you tell me why she’s stopped?? The substrate is just normal & not too moist, I just send her picture & my set up, thank you so much, First off, I received the photo. Can you send me some pics at tomsbigspiders@outlook.com ? Usually when they are bleeding from a leg, they will purposely cast their leg off. If you guide her to the bark, she will likely be back up to the top again the next morning. ( Log Out /
I had worried it was due to a heat spike in the room (it was warm in there due to heat lamps for my snakes and room faced the sunny side, exact temp not known, but had to be close to 90, if not higher). No joke. It was an unknown temp that was fairly high for 8-12 hours. My mature male H, incei gold after dying of old age. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. That sounds very odd. You can freeze them. If her abdomen is sunken in, she is dead. Some of the substrate is webbed up, and that seems to be enough for her. Still no movement.
And Aragog was squishy in the abdomen, so it had been a while for sure. Oh no! She had alway molded on her back this time she has not moved and is in the same position with her legs curl underneath her. ( Log Out / One was impacted with feces, one died for no apparent reason (it had water and it had just eaten), and a third I’m pretty sure died due to my negligence when it’s enclosure got too dry. Could someone tell me what’s going on with her, Oh, man…she’s been on her back for two weeks? So sorry for the delay; I missed this! I’ve had her for almost 2 years now. What is going on with it? It can be caused by several things, including severe temperatures (hot or cold), exposure to chemicals, or exposure to pesticides. Even a short fall has the potential to rupture the abdomen of a tarantula, leading to its death. In February of this year, I purchased an A. insubtilis which I later had sexed as a male. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aksaRqT6PUc, Follow Tom's Big Spiders on WordPress.com, Tarantula Feeding - What, when, and how much to feed. Now that it’s been a couple days, does she seem any better? I only mention it as it was something abnormal that occurred just before he started exhibiting signs. But I’m worried about internal damage . I can’t see any tibial hooks, but I don’t think it’s mature enough for those yet.
It’s ok. This is definitely a common behavior of this species. If it was in its water bowl, was there water in it? Have you ever witnessed this? How long did you have her for? Awwww…what a shame. Hopefully one day we will have the cure so less tarantulas have to suffer through this. Before she died, she appeared to be in pre-moult for several months before, she wasn’t eating much, and when she did want to eat, she found it very difficult to catch her prey, almost looked as if she was scared of it. When it comes to pet care, exotic pets like tarantulas can be pretty low maintenance, and that’s what gravitates many of us to them.

Replenishing water dishes has become almost a full time job for me lately because the water is just evaporating, and I’m misting the pokies, the irminia and the slings twice a week now instead of once a week. Winter time is the worst for my slings, not because of the temps, but due to the fact that the heat dries the air out to dangerous levels.
She was 4 and half when she died. How did it get injured? Generally, when they show those signs of jerky movements, they don’t make it. I had five slings. Tarantula exoskeletons are extremely fragile, much like an eggshell. That’s exactly how she was reacting. Tom, I have a Rose haired T.she’s about 18yrs old. Eucratoscelus pachypus – The Stout Leg Baboon. My fiance sad that the complex would have told us if they were to do that due to our dog being on the “aggressive” list. Okay for about a day now my tarantula has tucked her legs underneath her under Alief she is a pink-toed tarantula I thought she might be getting ready to molt so we’ve left her alone she left one on the ground what looks like a mole that she had been walking around on the bottom of the terrarium for several days and now she’s curled up to and what appears to be a death cearl any suggestions she has 4 water sources so I do not believe she’s not dehydrated when she went under the lease last night she did kind of a twitching motion left her but stretched out in the air for a little bit appeared to be digging a burrow and then tucked her legs underneath her and she has not moved for about a day, I’m worried that my first response didn’t go through, so my apologies if you got my first reply…. I usually wait a couple days after a rehousing before introducing food. Your hand is now doing a “death curl”. Sadly that doesn’t mean good moisture on this rock. We have him in an ICU tub but what wlaw can we do please. What a shame, I was hoping to see this spider grow to at least 2 inch. No, most likely not as long as they can dry off. I don’t know if this was just a short term fix and it would return again or if these tarantulas had a “mild” DKS but it makes me even more confused about euthanasia because you don’t want them to suffer and you just desperately want them to survive its like what do you do? She might just be settling in. When it started the T was really looking like it was stretching and twitching and moving back and forth, if anything I would say it was like looking at a turtle stuck on its back. The one in the video was mine, and it died a couple days later.
