She is pretty skinny and seems a little dehydrated. She has shed twice, incompletely. These past two weeks she has been going around the cage like crazy (all day), wobbling, and trying to escape. She won't use any of the hides I give her (unlike the male) and hangs out on the cool side of the cage a lot (which worries me--it is probably only 75).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
I have seen/heard of some pretty unusual actions by spiders (wobbling being one of them). I would separate the two and see of she is more inclined to use a small hide box. Also, I would check the humidity level and try paper towels for the substrate that are slightly misted. Good Luck!
