[QUOTE="Johnnytarny, post: 160680, member: 30628"] My year and a half or so old Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens has been doing quite fine for awhile but 3 or 4 days ago I found mold in it's enclosure. I made a stupid decision by putting small wooden statues in the new home I gave it 2 months ago. The mold appeared on both small statues. I immediately removed the t and changed it's substrate, and now have it in what my reading shows people call an 'ICU' ; a plastic container with some tissues to absorb any further moisture. I have the new substrate out waiting to get dry. Tomorrow I'll just pout it in the oven. Anyway, my t is acting strange it appears highly fatigued and submissive. Recently it's been showing aggression but now suddenly I can do anything to it. In addition, the legs seem odd. There are larger gaps than usual between each part of the legs, and they are looking out at random positions. This is how I initially noticed a change. I then proceeded to prod it to check it's gait and appears to walk fine, just not at all aggressive, and doesn't even shake any hairs. I see some ppl recommended anti fungul powder but of course I'd be glad for some suggestions. The pictures below display the spaces present between each leg structure, and also the weird leg placement. It is also very shaky and seems not to be able to support it's weight. Help save my T! Great thanks, Johnny [/QUOTE]
