Hi, My A. Versicolor molted overnight from 1" to about 1.75". Everything looked good when I checked it this morning. However, I checked in on it again just before leaving for work about an hour ago and it was flipped on it's back lying on the web the way it was last night prior to molting. Is this common???

If T is not in dead curl - everything is allright.
Maybe you didn't notice and T was just hanging upside down from ceiling of its web tunnel - they usually do that..

Yeah there was no death curl, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't hanging from the top of its tunnel. I'll just have to wait and see what I come home to tonight.

It is very possible it is stretching but Avicularia slings don't always die in death curl. Try misting to give it water and also see if there is any movement.
