If it is curled like that and not responding.This is death curl not stress posture.I will suggest puting its mouth over the water dish so fangs are in the water.Observe it if it dont improve in few hours flip it over and drop a drop of water on its mouth (just beneath the fangs)You will have to hold it in place few seconds before you release it or it may roll off.Also make sure half of the substrate is moist all the way to the bottom.I kept my B boehmei on fully moist substrate till it went about 1.5 inch in size  it did no harm.</blockquote>
