Hydration/possible death curl question

[Tboltguy1000]

Greetings all,

Today, I looked into my Grammostola Rosea's little half log hidey hole thingy to find that she may have been doing the death curl, but only with her front legs. Knowing that this is caused by dehyration, I immediately misted the soil she was on a ton and overflowed her water dish, as well as misted the rest of the soil in her tank. Right away she came back and was walking around completely normally and she's doing just fine now. Was she actually death curling or was she just in a weird position? I'm a little worried.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Has she molted recently? Mine has scared me more than once with their "post molt yoga stretches". They will also pull a leg underneath them for grooming. Hopefully it is nothing more serious. Keep us posted on how she is doing.

She hasn’t molted in around a year. She seems to be doing just fine though. She’s walking around good, her abdomen is healthy looking.
