Hi Brandon,
Before leaving us please provide the website you got this T from and looking like this (if the website does exist).
Please also accept our apologies for the rudeness of some of our members. I would personally recommend you to try arochnoboards: https://arachnoboards.com/
It is a much better place where people are a lot nicer, friendlier and patient, especially with new comers/beginners in need of help with basic husbandry.
Sending all my positive vibes for your T to recover and feel better, Cheers.

Then it is not a "rear horned baboon" as you described it. Thank you for taking the time to make a point on how important it is to use the proper species names of tarantulas instead of their nicknames.
P.S: The T you provided a picture of is a Ceratogyrus darlingi, happy to provide you with a picture of a Ceratogyrus brachycephalus if you would like.
Have a nice day.

Offer water bowl and food. Sounds like dehydration.

This response, unprovoked, kinda says it all, IMO
OP used the word "neglect" when they were asked a few simple questions regarding care and housing based on pics the IP posted
@LetsGoBrandon you were offered advice and the membership here showed concern for your animal. I'm sorry you don't feel welcomed but you quickly because defensive and accusatory.
I'm sorry for the tarantula in question, regardless of what species it is or where it was purchased.
Best of luck, OP

Mine too. This is actually @Austin S. Photo. Mine is on a extensive hiding mission as we speak.

I like your investigative/reverse psychology here on the "neglect". This said it is sad that you could imagine someone getting a T like this from a website and not providing the name of it right away....

I find it kind of weird that OP also tried to sell/give it way in the first post too, having 'just' received it.I like your investigative/reverse psychology here on the "neglect".

Needs more substrate, looks ok for water though.

That is clearly not a rear horned baboon. The horns can clearly be seen to be at the front, if you enlarge the image & reduce the moisture levels.
Hi, I haven't read all of the above, I'm gathering the discussion got heated, but I am still worried about the tarantula so here are some thoughts if needed (I have only been keeping a bit over a year).
- I would suggest trying different prey options if you can, and different prey sizes (not all at once, maybe after a few days try something different?). Some of my tarantulas won't take e.g. a roach but will take a worm, and visa versa. And some will take prey the size of their abdomen, but some prefer smaller prey.
- Definitely get the tarantula it's own enclosure with fresh substrate to dig in as soon as you can. If it can get settled into a home it can make its own it might be more likely to eat.
- I am glad to hear it has been drinking a bit, hopefully it will drink more soon so please make sure the water bowl remains topped up.

Hi,
The conversation didn't really get heated and reading the thread is a must
This is a really friendly place but we all come here for the love of the Ts so it is normal for us to call out someone neglecting and starving his. Now of course I am looking forward to stand corrected as soon as any of the OP claims can be verified, starting with the name of the business/website who sold a T like this....
All this said, your post shows obviously that you are a very carrying person and it is greatly appreciated.
Have a lovely day.
P.S: the thread includes many pictures of new species including many never seen Ceratogyrus. Including mine as well, even if I am taking the risk of suffering the wrath that usually comes with crossbreeding.
Here is my Ceratogyrus versicolor.
