PLEASE HELP. (on it's back)

[Abbigail]

i own a Brazilian black, Just a big bigger than an inch, and i found it on the floor in front of the bookcase it’s enclosure is on. I’m panicking and not sure what to do so anything would help? I put it back in the enclosure still on it’s back bc if it’s moulting i don’t want to disturb it. Would it be harmful if i flipped it back over, even if it’s moulting? Please help idk what to do and don’t want to lose my t

Also it’s not moving on it’s own, only if if i touch or move it in any way

Wait, it got out? How? Also, it would not try to moult outside of its enclosure. It probably died or is dying. Sorry for kinda being the reaper...

My advice would be to put the lid on and leave it be. The more stress you cause it will actually make things worse. It looks healthy so I dont think its dehydrated. If it is trying to molt, touching it is can cause more problems. I don't see any bleeding from a fall but it may have internal problems...which theres nothing you can do for it anyways. I'd leave it be for a few days.

Ok, can a fall onto carpet cause that much damage? The enclosure is about 4 feet away from the ground, but i have no idea if he actually fell all the way, or how he got there in the first place

Yes...a fall 4' onto carpet can kill a terrestrial tarantula. Arboreal tarantulas and jumping spiders lift their abdomens when in flight. A fat terrestrial tarantula doesn't. Hopefully it didnt fall and maybe its something else. I'd leave it be for now...theres really nothing that can be done.
