My Augacephalus ezendami hasn't moved since 7 am (it's now 20:40 / 8:40 pm) and she is perfectly fine ;) Based on the photos, there is nothing wrong with your B. hamorii. Sometimes tarantulas just decide to stay still for hours. Also, you said yours molted last Friday - Tarantulas may take quite a while doing postmolt stretching even in weird postures, so no need to worry :)

@Deserthawk You can start trying after you see your tarantula's fangs being pitch black, but remove the prey if your hamorii seems to be spooked / uncomfortable :) Some individuals could take up to three weeks before accepting feeders. Depends on their size and how fast they do harden up. Its abdomen looks fine, so there is nothing to worry about

Guys already answered to the third photo but yes, absolutely normal :)
Think it in this way: You've been given new clothes. They're two sizes too small, but you must wear them. You know that if you keep stretching them, they'll fit perfectly and you have full mobility, but you feel that they're constantly getting more and more stiff. You realize that you have only a certain amount of time to stretch your clothes before the sleeves and pant legs won't stretch anymore - What would you do? :D
