It's been around 8 hours now.
However, I joined a tarantula forum and have been told by 1 member in particular that this can be very common for this species. They said they own 2, and sometimes they stay like this for days!

Fingers crossed! I'll be so relieved after I see that she's made movement of some sort.

To be honest, I think if I rolled her over, she'd probably just stay still.
Got up this morning, and still no movement

But... no death curl either

Hmmm sounds dodgy tbh. If the legs are still raised i'd be inclined to say she's gone, but also i'd not throw her out until the abdomen drops.

And spiders don't ALWAYS curl when they die. I found my AF N. carapoensis dead but just sitting as she does when she's "sleeping". So they don't always curl

They don't always curl when they die. My B. klaasi looked great until I tried to move her. She rolled onto her back in my hand with no movement from the legs. I put her into ICU for a couple of days but she was already dead when she got here
