I went to the new pet store that opened up for some crickets, and only crickets, found a wee little guy about 1" listed as "stripe knee" for $9.99, he/she was in such a horrible state...going into "death curl" the legs are very tucked under and he/she looks really dehydrated..I told the cashier that I wanted to buy the tarantula. She had a guy come over to get him/her out and boy was he/she pissed! He tried to nudge him/her onto a piece of cardboard with a pen and it went into major threat mode and struck at the pen. The guy was really freaked to say the least..
Anyways, I told him that this tarantula is dying and is very dehydrated, he didnt have a clue to say the least...so I bought him/her brought it home, have it in ICU and Im crossing my fingers for the best. This is the first time I have actually seen the "deal curl", but from reading stuff on the boards, I knew this had to be it. The legs are so tucked and bent really sad, and poor bugger is very dull. I went to take pictures, and of course my camera battery died, so I am waiting for it to recharge at least enough to take a picture.
