It might just be slow because there's still some venom in its system. They usually know what they're doing, and a tarantula lying on its back rarely means anything bad. What you should be watching out for is curling, when they curl their legs somewhat under themselves. It's called the death curl. Let's wait and see what Enn thinks as well.If it stays put too long you might want to give it water, but again I don't have a lot of experience with molting so we should see what the others think.</blockquote>
