Now shes covering the front of her hide? Is that a sign of molt or just a trap? Thanks
A trap?? Tarantula hunt or lie waiting for prey to walk by, except
maybe I.mira. If your T barricades the entrance, it is telling you not to disturb. Most times for molting, but also because they don't want any fuss and be left in peace. Like i told you to do like six times already ;)

Seeing as she blocked the entrance before, she is probably trying to molt. The ICU is not the best option for thisa species, they like it more dry. But if she is molting, you need to leave her alone. Check on her tonight, but leave her alone. If she's not changed by tomorrow evening than she may have died, but don't jump to that conclusion just yet .
And the buyer needs to step up his game if he really wants to buy her. If I was the one selling, I'd tell the buyer I am not selling her to someone so careless. :shifty:

Is there an odor of decomposition? A living tarantula can look dead, so don't give up hope until she starts to stink.
