I was not expecting this.  Being on his side, is the bit that is most common when having these “episodes”. The legs underneath him are bent outward, supporting him (like a shelving bracket holding him on his side) his other half is all  over the place up in the air, twitching away. The legs will stop…I can see them dropping (like he’s relaxing) but his pedipalps never ever stop.  It was kinda crazy to see and I thought I was watching him die. Now that I know what’s happening, I wish I had a mf for him before he crosses the great divide. I’ll try and get a short video of him on his side. Thank you for your response.</p></blockquote><p></p>
