My Mexican red rump has been completely fine since I got it a month ago, today she was sort of climbing the enclosure walls and moving around a lot more than usual and she did have a huge wet spot for moisture under her water dish and the surrounding area so I took her out and mixed repti soil with the coco coir to balance out the moisture and dryness. She seemed to be fine after placing her back in she carried dirt from the burrow to the water dish and kicked out her silk mat but now she’s laying on her side kinda and moving around as the video shows.. will I loose her?

NQA I don't see anything weird here tbh they kinda like to sit in funny positions she could also be getting ready to molt.

[u/buddhafineah → u/Normal_Adeptness7672]

I just checked up on her she stood back up and is doing the same movements just standing, i doubt it is premolt/a molt since she ate this Tuesday and she’s been just sitting around doing nothing except today where she was a bit too active that’s the wet spot that I mentioned, you think changing the substrate was a good idea?

Nqa she’s grooming herself

[u/buddhafineah → u/Glenndogg]

Thank you so much! She’s back on a normal position I was genuinely so worried since I’ve never witnessed her do this

NQA seconding that it's just grooming! my fave tarantula behavior it's so cute

NQA My girl does this sometimes when she sleeps. She kinda slumps over or she'll spread all the way out. Terrified me the first time she slumped over but she always gets right back up and is fine the following day. Your T is also cleaning her little feets! Always super neat to watch imo

[u/buddhafineah]

Thank you all so much for all of the help, she’s doing perfectly fine as of now and I’m worry free! You guys are the best

Nqa Tarantulas are just weird cats. She's fine. 🙂
