Just out of curiosity, what was the cause of death?RazorRipley said:Someone has to be the negative aspect of reasoning, so I will volunteer. Everytime one of my tarantulas was found sitting with its legs curled under it, it died within the next 2-3 days, so one can draw the conclusion that it is not a good sign. Take a pencil eraser and give it a lil tap on its behind, if it doesnt react and just stays with its legs underneath, then you can draw the obvious conclusion, which is the one we never want to, but sometimes must. I hope the previous posters are right about it just grooming itself, however it would be moving around, especially 3 days after a successful molt.
The back legs aren't curled. ;PSeekneSs said:bwaa, doesn't mean it's gonna die because it curles the legs...
this spider is still alive, months after taking this pic...
it just likes to kneel... that's all...
and no, in this pic she isn't grooming... stayed like this for hours...
