my OBT started acting strangely yesterday, by staying on the sides of the container it is in. i thought it was because of it's recent rehousing, but i think I'm wrong. very, very wrong. i looked over about 15 minutes ago to see it on it's back! now you may be thinking "it's molting," but let me tell you, it molted a week and a half ago. I know for a fact. there is no physically possible way it could be molting again. i tapped on the container, to which it proceded to run very lopsidedly (like it was drunk) around the container until it tripped and fell on it's back again. it then laid there pulsing its legs while they slowly curled up onto it. naturally, i was awestruck, because i love this little tarantula (it's about an inch long, give or take), and i don't want to lose it. what's going on with it, what do I do, and how can I help? could it be DKS?
right now it's sitting on it's web, albeit right side up, but it's legs are pulled in close.
UPDATE------
It seems to have a long trail of silk coming out of it. could this be a part of it? like, the trail is a good six inches long.
