They can either lay flat and very stretched or be in relatively bizarre looking yoga poses. Sometimes they lay flat just because they can.However, you said it has had a great appetite.. Are your tarantula's fangs already black and hardened up? Depending on the size of the tarantula, the hardening up process takes some time and tarantula should not be fed at all to avoid injuries - Most importantly fang damage.With small slings the wait is usually few days, juveniles 1 - 2 weeks, older adults even longer.Though, since your tarantulas has already eaten it should be fine for now. But just for future molts. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
