This seems to be the case whenever they've had a moulting issue but I've had MMs pass away without death curling tooAlso a dead tarantula will begin to smell and mould very quickly - I know I probably sound quite negative about it.and I hope I'm wrong . I do hope this one is still alive and pulls through but it doesn't sound very hopeful <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
