| tarantula unmoving and on its back |
... except that the old Tarantula was on its back, unmoving ---->>>>>>
Not even a couple of good shakes of her terrarium got me a response. Oh, no. Did she finally kick the bucket?? After all, Brach was old -- like Methuselah. She has far outlived the 2 cockatiels we bought at the same time we purchased her. How long has it been --- 15+ years??
We tried to feed her the previous months, but she would not ingest solids. Not even sure if her daily fresh water was touched. She did not move much neither. And now, she was totally unresponsive.
We had a guest kitty-Cat that I did not want too curious about this hairy creature, so we moved Brach downstairs into the bathroom. Good Night; possibly, Good Bye. Turned off the lights, closed the door. Sigh.
Checked her early the next morning: she'd molted! Old skin so fresh it still looked dewy. The day before, Brach had looked and acted dead. So happy we were not hasty and tossed her out. I am certain other people have made that mistake. Thank You, Lord, Brach is a-okay.
