So if you can without hurting her if she hasnt flipped on her own put her back like you found her. Nothing you can do but let her do what she knows how to do. Sometimes a tarantula molts more than once in a shorter time. There are several reasons they might do this. But if she is molting again you dont want to mess with a T when its molting. They pump fluid betweenbthe new and old exoskeleton to squeeze out. If some legs werent moving its 99 percent probable those legs were in a process were she didnt need to or couldnt move them at that time. If you can put her back where she was do so. I understand the not knowing can be scary. But they know what they are doing. If she is molting you cant stop her and last thing you want to do is flip her back on her stomach .but since you already have too late so if she hasnt flipped back over on her back please put her back the way you found her. Its the best thing to do in my opinion. I have raised and sold over 1000 tarantulas so based on my experience thats what I would do. Then if theres an issue after she does what she is going to do deal with it then but for now you gotta let hwr do what she is gonna do. Maybe she just needed to molt again it happens sometimes. What type of T is it. How big is it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
