A friend of mine is a shaman. I had him come out to my work office last year to do a spiritual cleansing. I thought it would be interesting, supportive to his work, and I also have a weird neighbor so I figured it could clean up any possible bad juju from her. Anyway, it was quite...
Yes death is final, the worst, not what we want when we care for animals.
But no reason to be alarmed, IMO. Molting is hard work and they need to rest afterwards.
Plus slings stay burrowed for long periods of time anyway because it is how they protect themselves. It's very normal.
It's probably not good or bad, just the tarantula doing tarantula things.
Don't you ever do this? Get outta bed, drink a bunch of water, then get back into bed?
It's probably all fine. Just refill the water dish.

I remember years ago, a mentor advised me to notice my defensiveness, and suggested "when you get defensive, get curious". I'm not always perfect at this but it's some of the best advice I've ever received! If you are open to information, OP, it will only benefit you and your tarantula...
cold blood is a cool dude.
I was very happy to purchase an avic from him. He answered my questions, was prompt, packaged it well, and the whole process was both easy and enjoyable. This is the second T I've ordered from him, both experiences have been very positive and both Ts were really...
