Argh... Sorry to be so vague, but I've forgotten the term for it, and I can't find stuff searching through the forum.
I recall several cases of spiders continuously twitching and having severe lack of adhesion when climbing or moving, and generally being quite inert.
Anyway, I ask because my Poecilotheria pedernsi is exhibiting such behaviour... The legs randomly tapping underneath it (it doesn't curl up, but doesn't move around and can't seem to climb). The spasms where similar to those int he videos supplied.
Probably just me being over-cautious, but still, any info would be appreicated.
Oh I plan to make a video of it's response to being poked ('tis only a spiderling) once I get another set of rechargeable batteries
