Message: <blockquote data-quote="hollyrosie" data-source="post: 79491" data-attributes="member: 6520">Hey there;I own a chilean rose haired tarantula female. Not sure of the age as we have adopted her but at least a few years old. We noticed today she is doing something we have NEVER seen her do. She is laying down in the middle of her enclosure. Belly to the ground and legs outstretched. The home she was in previously did not handle her often so she has always been a bit skittish and weary to pick up, though she is getting better it takes some coaxing, but since she has laid down we can put our hand in and just pick her up if we like...Is this something we should be worried? Is she dying? Please help we are VERY worried about our pretty girl.</blockquote>
