Sick B.Vagans

My T molted a couple days ago. The next day, it was unresponsive. I put it in a ICU. Here is a pic and please help!

since it's on ICU, wait for a couple of days to see results

Ok. Starting to move (sorta).

bathroom and kitchen sink humidity levels can do wonders for sick tarantulas

Keep it nice on it's preferred temp and give it a good humidity.
Leave it in peace and let it recover on its own:)

Yeah, I put it in the bathroom, and it looks like it is getting a little better Not too much though.

One of the reasons I fear owning a tarantula. I hope it gets healthy soon.

It just happens. I have had my B. Vagans for 9 yrs and before that many others. Never had anything like this.
But it can happen.

Here is another pic, not looking so good.

I'm sorry but can you post a sharper pic, it's really blurry.
From what I can see it is in what I like to call "resting mode"
the back legs a bit spread , front legs near each other.

I kind of looks better than the first picture.
To reduce stress I would give it a little hide, perhaps offer it some food, a molt demands a lot from the Tarantula.
Make sure you take the prey animal out if your spider doesn't eat it, otherwise it might stress your T and the prey animal could gnaw at the spider.

Give it a lot of rest, leave it in a nice shady / darker room, and let it play out.
There isn't much you can do I'm afraid, but what you do is good!
I have raised my Tarantula from a similar size and I always made sure that there was drinking water available and mist the enclosure when it started to look she was going to molt.

I will check this thread again tomorrow , so if I can help let me know.

The T is still unresponsive and won't move, so I am scared to offer it food.

Is it still alive?

It died.
