[QUOTE="Grandsouls, post: 170926, member: 32091"] from the things iv read in the past, it sounds like he is just going through another molt, and you interrupted it tarantula (Again from what I read ) will not die on its back, it will die facing down or side with legs curled in an dried up looking. Now its a slower growing species but its possible its going to molt again.. I have read few similar threads like this an it was just going through two almost continuous molts, some without even feeding in between (perhaps it grew too much and started going through second molt before it was even dont its first? Idk) do you regularly handle or disturb it? Perhaps it put off molting due to disturbing it. Also if it is in this position and its alive still do not feed it or leave food with it just provide it with water. If it moves and is reactive, i would leave it alone, and give it time. Note I am noob, to keeping, I have surfed threads and google for years though, just speaking from my research that I can remember, if anyone more experienced could chime in that would be great : ) [/QUOTE]
