Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 27933" data-attributes="member: 545">I think she is grooming herself. When tarantulas do this they often contort themselves into all kinds of weird positions. Mind tend to do it right after eating. In the death curl, all eight legs are curled under; from what I'm seeing, your T is only curling a few at a time. If you have noticed that her behavior is different, it may be one of those personality changes that sometimes occur after a molt. Btw, you get your crickets from the pet store, right? Just making sure, because wild-caught insects are unsafe due to their potentially having come in contact with pesticides and such.</blockquote>
