Nhandu chromatus

[Dave burr]

Hey everyone, just a peace of mind really, nhandu chromatus arrived today in the post it was upside down when I removed the tissue. I guess it was going to molt. So I left it in the tub and put the tub gently into its enclosure. During this process its climbed onto its front. I'm panicking now. If it needs to molt will it turn back over?

I’ve seen it before when a T has flipped to moult but righted itself after a disturbance ( Grammostola Iheringi) it flipped and moulted a few days later.
I’d leave it to walk off the tissue on its own before removing but it should be fine and will moult when comfortable in its new enclosure. Just give it a waterdish and your set

I've found my spiders on their backs and they dont even need to molt. They are experts at flipping over.
