You could euthanize, or you could attempt to care for it until the next molt, which it might or might not survive. As MassExodus said, you'd be feeding mushed up crickets and water until it manages another molt. I don't think flipping it upright will do any harm at this point. If it was molting, it will either be all old exo on the outside or already hardened.I wish I could say more, but it's too hard to see what's going on in pics. Honestly, if things are that messed up it might be hard to tell even in person where the spider begins and the old skin ends.Best of luck whatever you decide to do.</blockquote>
