Hi can't really tell by that picture but usually a death curl happens on the ground. It looks to me that it's on the side of its enclosure. Have you tried touching it with a brush or a straw to see if it's still alive

Hi,
Hoping for the best but this doesn't llok like a death curl. Death curl usually has the legs folding under the tarantula. Haney, could we please get a picture of the full enclosure?

Hello! I just spoke to more people about this situation and they had suggested more substrate and to change the mesh wiring on the enclosure's lid, I have now done those things and thankfully he's way better now!

Again, it is really hard to say or help without a picture of the enclosure

Although the correct depth of substrate will make a difference to the long term care of your T. I am not sure, I that I can think of a reason that would make a few cm's of substrate a big & quick difference to anything. And as for the mesh, I have never heard of that causing a T to decide to curl up, unless the T had been caught up in the mesh before.

Jumping in here with a high level thought, stressors aren't always abundantly clear to the keeper, each individual animal has its own needs and sensitivities.

As suggested, please post a picture of the entire enclosure, and animal - maybe we can see something the OP cannot

Well congrats!
