Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rosa" data-source="post: 90788" data-attributes="member: 10066"><p>Hello I have a 3-4 year old Chilian Rose hair tarantula that I've owned about 2 to 2.5 years. She got injured last Monday (I think she got scratched by my cat,  the lid was open an inch and the spider was in the corner bleeding a bit and then was in the death curl for a day or two. All on Different post) but seemed to be on the mend. On Monday, 9/5,  I woke up at 8 am to find her flipped over, so i was excited to see her molt (hasn't done it in 1.5 years to 2 years). Well I think the molt is going bad. She still is upside down and it's been 33 hours minimum (she flipped over sometime between 2 am and 8 am Monday). Worse is that now she has this big white spot on her lower abdomen.  It almost looks like mold. I don't know what to do or if she is even still alive. I'm freaking out bad. This is the first tarantula I've owned and I'm lost. What do I do? What's the longest it can take a tarantula to molt? How do I know if she is dead? Help please.</p></blockquote><p></p>
