Message: <blockquote data-quote="katyleekoby" data-source="post: 167457" data-attributes="member: 28326">Hi guys.I feel like I might know the answer to this already but I just want to make sure.I have had my Pink-Toe, Lucas for about 2 years now. End of January he started to shows signs of molting, but he still ate and honestly up until a few days ago, I wasn’t worried. When I was changing his water a few days ago, I just felt like something was off? So I posted in another forum with some pictures asking if anyone thought he was sick and everyone agreed that he was definitely in pre-molt and looked perfectly healthy.Today I woke up and checked on him and he is completely unresponsive. I only touched him a little bit because I didn’t want to bug him, but there is literally no movement at all. He’s molted plenty of times before and has never acted like this. He isn’t in a death curl, but I’m very aware that Tarantulas can die and not curl. I’m going to attach some pictures and any advice is greatly appreciated. I am going to keep him in his cage and leave him be for now. ThE pictures I’m attaching are one I took of him today when I found him.He is my first tarantula, so I’m just a little broken over it.thanks!</blockquote>
