crab or spider?

Or she might be off food for no apparent reason. I've heard T's do that sometimes.

Hmm i know they molt less often as adults but 6 months might be long enough...it could be for no reason too although mine have never really dont that.

Thanks guys. I hope she's not ill or something. I think even my vet would draw the line at examining a T. LOL Can they go a fair amount of time without eating?? She deson't look sunken in to me...

yes, they can go several months without food....make sure there is water in there for humidity and her to drink. I had a rose hair a few years ago that went off feed for about 4 months. she died, but not from starving....pushed her way out of the small tank she was in...I had a piece of screen on top with rubber bands holding it on. she never tried to escape until the end...she must have gotten hungry and decided to push her way out. she found a 5 gallon tank that was nice and warm....had a piece of glass on top with a corner cut off...kept the tank humid. she crawled inside and met up with the occupants of the tank...a pair of emperor scorpions... they had a large meal.
as long as her abdomoen is not shrinking and getting wrinkly she is ok...if she starts to get wrinkled, she is not doing well and could pass away..
