Curly Hair molted last night, no abdomen on molt and she’s still upside down

My guess is that your tarantula was simply resting after the stress of the molt.

Anyone have any insight into what might have caused this and how to prevent it in the future? Something similar happened to my little Bumba cabocla sling this last molt, and I'd like to learn from it.

Really awesome! That's the way this forum should be done, helpful and thoughtful. All positive mojo to both of you and your curly hair, hope its healthy.

Agreed and thanks, she’s hanging in there so I think she is gonna be alright!

Sad new update, over the past 2 day I noticed her abdomen looked like it was getting kinda shriveled so I was using a syringe to give her water where she was at, also noticed she wasn’t really moving just some leg twitching and today when I got home from work, there was zero movement and her legs were sorta curled. Tried to use a brush to encourage some movement with no response so I kinda lifted her a little with it and she was stiff so it appears that she has passed away. I appreciate the help I received in this thread, I hope I did everything I could for her.

I'm so sorry. You did all you could and sadly these things happen.
