My tarantula has been curled in a ball and not moving for a day or two!! She is still very small!! She has molted once about a month ago!! She was doing fine just the other day!!

Please post pictures of the spider and enclosure so we can get an idea of what's going on.

Probably a death curl. Does it have water and a lot of ventilation?

Sad to say but probably death curl. These species need lots of ventilation, especially when young.

If in death curl, your T had issues long ago.

I'm curious, then, what you WERE picturing? "Curled in a ball" is pretty specific... and pretty darn death curl-y.
Legs in close to body but not tucked under. I would describe my a. Seemanni hanging out in her burrow as curled in a ball. Shes not in death curl. People picture things or describe things differently. This is why it's impossible to tell without a picture or at least better description
