A. Versicolor sling acting VERY strange.

I don't have any idea whats going on with him, he's hanging upside-down by only his left set of legs, and his right set are moving back and forth, at first vigorously, now slowly. What the hell is this?!?! I took a bunch of pictures, but for some reason, my uploader won't work.

you sure his foot isn't stuck?

 

[serialthrilla91]

Yea, I moved real quick in front of his container, and he flipped back over. Then waited a minute and went right back to hanging upside-down

Could be grooming. Some go through weird grooming contortions.

I agree with Formerphobe, it sounds like grooming to me. Sometimes tarantulas will groom themselves using all four legs on either side. If the behavior is still going on now, uploading a picture to a hosting website (such as tinypic or photobucket) could make it easier to offer advice.
