| I think something is wrong with this tarantula
I tapped its butt again to get it off paper towel and its not moving at all
it feels cold and there is a huge bold spot on its but like completely bald. | |

| T's tend to stay on the paper towel they travelled in for a while It seems they feel more secure on it than moving off into unknown territory Bald spots usually happen when the T has been subjected to stress. If you can see its pinkish colour its not ready to moult. It will go dark brown or even shiny black when due a moult Warm it up, give it a little water and somewhere to hide, and leave her be for a while. She looks fat so no need to worry about feeding her for a while. She will soon find her way into the hide and relax in there Enjoy the Brachy, they are great species | |

| Yes, they generally kick hair in transit when they are shaken about. If its pink it should continue to feed for a while yet so give it five days to a week or so and then try and feed once its settled. My 2 red knees are pigs and will eat until they explode | |

| They eat loads but can go long periods without if you overfeed them. Try it and if its not eaten remove and try again in a week | |
