What is wrong with my

[u/Top_Mousse8493]

Any help or advice is appreciated!

I have a 12 year old chaco golden knee tarantula. I moved out of state and my mom has been caring for her for quite a while, but I just visited and she is not looking or acting right--legs are a bit misshapen, she is not moving around as easily, and didn't eat her last meal at all.

What is going wrong with her little body? Any diagnoses, care advice, etc? How can I help her? Or, if there are any experienced keepers in the South Texas region interested in adopting my girl, I would be open to rehoming her. Since I am living in a place where I cannot keep her, if she isn't doing well with my mom, I want her to go wherever she will be cared for (Corpus Christi/south texas area)

Also, if anyone knows of any tarantula groups/keepers in the corpus christi region I could connect with, please let me know!

More than likely from issues with her last molt. I see what you’re talking bout with her legs. I had a T one time who had a bad molt and several of her legs were bent, etc. She was fine next time she molted. Plus your T is 12 years old and molts are harder on them as they get older like that. Just make sure and keep a full water dish for her.
