How do i tell if my T is moulting and not dead :(

[Bradders100]

Question in the title!

Thanks

Generally speaking:

Dead T will be upright with its legs curled under

Moulting T will be on its back, though they can moult upright or on their sides, but the legs won't be curled up and if you look carefully it might have made a web mat to moult on

Generally speaking a T will die with its legs pulled under itself.

Oh no :O

I think it might be dead then :O

I will leave it for a little while and keep doing what i was doing when it was normal.

I havent had it that long, It ate on the first week, then the second week (of having it that is) then it started being all slow and was hiding in its paper and now not climbing

now its in its little plant pot (i litterally mean little) just... there... :\ Legs arent completely under it, just looks like its huddled abit, but theres no leg curling :\

Should I leave it for longer to make sure?

[moonlight]

yes I would leave it for a bit longer. is his hide a suitable size or too small for him, he could be coming up for a moult, when was the last time he ate?

Oh sometimes spiders do huddle in corners but thats normally seen when its stressed. Does it have a hide?

What species is it?

What size is the spider?

What are the temps and humidty like

Could you get us a clear picture?

It's an Avicularia versicolor sling.
its prob the size of my little nail. its being kept at around 77-80F, kept sorta humid as told, the substrate is damp but not soaking.
It has some tissue that it made a webby nest in, so i left it in there with it, it also has a small plant pot which it climbed over and stuff.

But usually it was sitting in a web it made on the side of the enclosure.

arent avic.s arboreal.. .. shud have some leaves or stuff to hide behind as well as something to attach its web to up the side..

im sure someone more knowledgable than me will verify for ya.. but it might be stresed cos its out in the open like that.
