I have a b smithi that I got as a spiderling in April of 2012.
I don't handle him at all and he is normally quite active and busy.
I sexed him a couple years ago and he is a male.
The past two weeks he has become lethargic, and sits in the corner of his enclosure and doesn't move.
Today I noticed his abdomen looks like it is deflating.
He always has a water dish available but on the off chance he was dehydrated I put him in a warm damp ICU container.
He does not seem to be improving in health.
If I try and move him he almost tips over and seems very weak with his legs curled underneath him.
Is he dying of old age?
I feel terrible that he might be suffering.
I don't believe he has any parasites and there are no signs that he has injured himself.
Is there any more I can do for him except keeping him in the ICU box?
Can you take a tarantula to the vet?
I am so sad that he isn't recovering. I really love him and hope there is something else I can do to help him.
Any help at all would be very appreciated.
