Is this a photo of it down in it's borrow? And if yes.....how long has it been in that position? My G.Rosea sometimes curls up like that but it only seems to happen when the room temperature goes down.......once I bring the heat up a bit, my T usually goes back to normal.
Yes, the sling dug it's burrow all the way to the bottom area of the container. It's been in that position for a couple of days and the temperature isn't low.... I think I might just be paranoid.
Looks completely normal to me. You can lightly push on the container wall right where the sling is to see if it moves. Get us a pic of the whole enclosure though if you can, as it does look a little on the moist side.
@Jawa There is no evidence that 'humidity' helps with molting. From the way it looks though, you might have gone a bit too far when it comes to moisture.
I read on mikebasictarantula.com and he said that higher humidity seems to help during a molt, this may not be correct...
I did over wet the dirt but it's only at the bottom of the container and closer to the surface it's dry. The sling dug it's self all the way down and that was another reason why I was worried. (because of how moist it is)
Well I thought about this since my comment on Monday night..........If this sling still has not moved and you are still worried about it........nothing wrong with putting the tip of a straw/paintbrush down into the borrow and see if it moves.
