Need help with rose haired!!! Asap!

[Animalluva143]

My son called me at work today to tell me his rose haired is dead, or at least he thinks. She is supposedly female and hasn't molted in about 2 years. I have no idea if this spider is dead or not. He's so upset. She doesn't move when touched. Please help!

I've never seen that pose before..it looks bad to me..is she a wc female from a pet store? Her abdomen looks good, her legs are thick..she may be very old..can you give us a full enclosure pic?

I'm at work and just seeing this now, will give a full enclosure pic when I get home. We put her in ICU last night. What does 'wc' female mean? She was purchased from jungle Bob's reptile world on long island. Not sure how old she is though. We have had her 2.5 years.

Ughhhh, I know it does look bad... hopefully she turns around. Any recommendations for spider breeds? My son will be devastated if she doesn't make it and i'm sure he will want another pet.

A WC female is one that has been taken from the wild and could have been quite old when you got her. If you buy another make sure it is CB, captive bred. CB are usually free from internal parasites so much healthier.
