Yesterday, I caught a Tarantula that was wandering up my street. When I was carrying him home I accidentally dropped him from about 4 feet high. I picked him right up and put it in a 10 gallon container with dirt and some branches. I also added in a moistened sponge for humidity.
He seems to be alright from the fall. All of his legs seem to be working fine as he has been wandering around trying to climb up the tank.
He has been pretty active since last night but this morning he's been sitting in the same position for a few hours without moving. His legs are not curled beneath his abdomen so I don't think he's dying but I tried touching his leg and he barley moves.
Is this normal behavior for a Tarantula? Can it be the stress that is affecting him? I am a little worried that he is not moving. How can I make him more comfortable?
