Can someone help.

Okay so I decided to make a new thread with a picture. My skeleton tarantula female about 5 inches has been like this all day yesterday and through the night.

I thought she was molting yesterday (despite showing no sign of premolt) so I left her alone. However I've never seen a T molt with their legs curled tightly inwards like that and shes not moving at all... should I be concerned?

I've already been moistening her enclosure as much as I can without disturbing her.. she still hasn't moved at all.. not even some leg twitches.

That might be a death curl...

Gently brush her lightly with a paint brush, see if she moves

Nope no movement.. :'( I don't understand she was completely fine the day before... ate a nice big dubia on Saturday... no weird actions or signs of being stressed..

I'm heartbroken I've never had this happen before..

Sucks for sure.

Give it a day or so as it and see if any changes.
