Hi my name is Aaron, anyways I have a pink toe tarantula and I think it is dead?! It did the death curl about a week ago. I remember my cousin came in my room a week ago and he look at it, 2days later he said "hey cousin I think you're spider is dead because the last time I was here it(my tarantula) was in the same spot. I didn't think anything of it (I have had my pink toe for about 1 ½ years). I did give it water and sprayed down the cage that day because I did get a little worried. 2 days later I got more scared so I touched Chocolate (my tarantula) and it was hard, that's when I pronounced my tarantula dead. I was planning on burying that day but I had left to stay with my sister for a couple of days. I got home today and placed it in a box and buried it. After a little thought came into my head, what if it wasn't dead? So that's when I Googled: Is my tarantula dead?. I learned the term "death curl" and found out it might not be dead. I also found out that you can save it by putting it in ICU. I don't know why I didn't think of that, I have put it in ICU before but only because it was cold. IS IT TOO LATE? I'm not at my house anymore, I came to my father's house for the night. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME SHOULD I GO UNBURY CHOCOLATE? OR IS IT DEAD?? The only thing I am scared of is unburying chocolate like a crazy person, only to find out it was really dead and having to go through this pain twice, I already feel like it's my fault then if I unbury it and it is dead I will feel bad for not letting my baby rest in peace. The reason why I buried chocolate was because I love it, and it has been with me through every thing and BECAUSE I FIGURED THIS WAS MY FAULT AND AT LEAST I COULD DO WAS GIVE IT A BEAUTIFUL FUNERAL TO REST IN PEACE. WHAT SHOULD I DO SOMEONE HELP, IS IT DEAD OR CAN I STILL SAVE IT??? This is my first time posting to any forms and this was my very first and only tarantula I have had. Please help and thank you.

I'm so sorry. I think you can be certain it was dead as there would have been some response when you touched and then moved it. Sadly these things happen and often we don't know why.
