I just woke up in the middle of the night, and I found out my T laying on the substrate like this, is this normal ? or just she/he is enjoying the substrate..

That's a post-molt stretch. Looks like it molted recently? They typically do this after a molt. It's also what I like to call the "Pokie" pose, since Poecilotheria are commonly seen in this sort of position.

Weird...As some of the posters said, they stretch out in weird poses after a molt, but that's just...weird...o_O Maybe it's enjoying the substrate like you said...is it damper right there then in the rest of the enclosure? Nice little rock formation, I like it.

Yes, its week and half after the molt, she/he is not anymore in this position.

Thanks guys
