[QUOTE="Tgirl1010, post: 30953, member: 472"] Are you sure this is a female? In the second set of pictures, your tarantula looks to be a mature male but I can't see the pedipalps well so I can't say for sure. Edit: In the middle picture on the bottom row, I'm pretty sure I see the pedipalp and it definitely looks to be a mature male. Once a male tarantula matures, they are more interested in finding a female than anything else. They will wander constantly, and often not eat well. Sadly, they usually don't molt again and often don't live very long after the molt. As they age they tend to look pretty rough. I think this is what is going on with your spider. :( [/QUOTE]
