I noticed my g. Rosea our and about which doesn’t happen often so I went over to look at her and I noticed she’s walking weird she’s pacing around but her furthest back leg on the right side is twitching when she lifts it. Only that leg, I can’t find anything about just one leg twitching. Anybody have any experience with this? I’ve had her for a few years and she’s my baby so of course now I’m frantic

You handle your spider obviously....soap, perfume, lotion, laundry soap, air fresheners ect. These things are all toxic to tarantulas. Theres a few conditions from chemicals that cause twitching. Tarantulas have sensitive sensory organs in their feet, feel and taste. People often forget this when they let their beloved pet crawl on them. :confused:
