Heartbroken :(

My Spider wobbles worse when hungry, but after feeding the wobble reduces and nearly disappears. As she seems to only become active when ready for a feed, perhaps her increased activity causes symptoms to increase. I just know that when well fed she shows near-normal behavior, just a bit skittish. I also wonder if eyesight has something to do with it, she seems to have trouble focusing on prey until they are very close, and blind(ish) animals can have orientation issues; something to think about at least.
I'm just happy she is quite healthy and a good eater otherwise.

What does his cage look like? Kinda weird that he doesn't wobble when he is out of his cage. Are there easily defined walls, floor and ceiling?

Nothing in his cage has been changed.

What substrate is that? Pine shavings?:confusd: I'm assuming you know better than to use pine, but thought I would ask. Nice collection BTW; is that your sulcata in the avatar pic?

Aspen.

and no, both my sulcatas are only 400 grams :)
The avatar pic was taken at the Reptile Gardens in South Dakota.. its a Aldabra I believe.

The same thing happens with my spider. She looks so pitiful and retarded at the same time, yet normal when being held!
