Skinny Abdomen. Please help!
Hi my tarantula is five years old ( i got her from a pet store. The lady said she was two but you never know with some pet stores so she could have been older.) Anyways she has currently stopped eating and now her abdomen is getting skinnier and skinnier. Could this be a sign of old age and shes dying or is she sick. What does it mean? Please help ASAP so I can help her out.

Re: Skinny Abdomen. Please help!
Not only that, luke...
What kind of substrate is she on? Feeding schedual? Has the T molted in your care?
Does it have hooks on the first set of legs?
It would look like this...  |

That is not true...
Males only get about that old, but females can live 25-35+ years.
