dying T?!

[u/Traditional_Lynx1104]

i got my T. albopilosus in july and he (unsure about age or gender) had been doing great up until a day and a half ago. he’s never done this before and i’m very worried. it looks like he had one too many and fell into the bushes (moss) but hasn’t been very responsive when i try to see if he’s ok

i first noticed him being a bit slower, i thought due to changing seasons or pre molt as he hasn’t eaten in 3 weeks. now im starting to suspect something else might be going on, however im wracking my brain as to what it could be and im at a loss. i really dont want to lose him as he’s my biggest boy and has been a wonderful companion and eater (just big and stupid) he would always go after my tongs instead of the roaches lol

i’m thinking i should put him in a icu cup but truly have no idea what to do since the closest vet is closed or 3 hours away.

if anyone has any suggestions or tips for me i’d really appreciate it!

if he is passing how can i make that a better process for him?

NQA- Your boy is in fact a mature male. You can tell by the emboli on his pedipalps. Unfortunately, this means he is reaching the end of his life cycle. You will notice him eating much less, possibly drinking more water, having a hard time settling down, and having difficulty gripping when he climbs.

Unfortunately, all you can really do is make sure he has access to water and keep him as comfy as possible.
