MM occasionally rests in partial death curl despite otherwise acting healthy?

[goldenpumpkin]

Hello all, so it seems like my mature male occasionally likes to just chill with a couple legs tucked under himself in what looks like a partial death curl. I've seen him do this twice in the 2 weeks that I've had him, and when he's not doing this he appears to act perfectly normal. So my question is should I be worried about this behavior?

Note: I'm not talking about when he's grooming, I'm talking about him being completely still

Thank you in advance.

Normal
Enjoy him while he lasts

Sometimes after they groom they are too lazy to unfold their legs so they just leave them like that... or that's what I think... One time my C marshalli had all her legs under her except one, she really scared me XD

Omg...why must they do this to us?! xD

Ugh. I have a MM P. murinus that does this and it always freaks me out. Sometimes he won't respond initially if I gently prod him to check for signs of movement, then will suddenly launch himself at me like a jack in the box and scare the crap out me.

Well at least now I know it's normal! It does suck though lol. My tarantula and I literally scare each other sometimes; like one of us will get spooked and in turn spook the other... I try to remain calm but damn he makes it hard sometimes! xD
