Avicularia avicularia is in death curl?

[Atabby]

Here is my avicularia this morning, she was totally still not moving at all , I watched her for several minutes before I took the pictures.
No web, just hanging on the side, after this pic I misted the sides close to her she did move a little but not much.
Question is this the start of a death curl?

Could just be grooming... Misting isn't a great way to improve actual hydration. It's better to put a few drops of water on leaves or webbing where they can drink from it. If the water pools a little on the leaf or web, it takes longer to evaporate and gives your T more time to find it and drink if they want to.

I watched her for at least 4 minutes before taking the picture, no movement at all. And I did get water droplets right next to her mouth.

She has been in this new enclosure for 2 months now and has not laid any webbing at all. She only sits on the side.
She has water on the bottom of the enclosure and I put water drops on the sides near her every few days, offer her food which she has refused. And she has always been able to eat from tongs.

Yeah mine will sometimes groom for a while and then seemingly just sort of take a nap right there. Then the next day they're back to normal.

Post a photo of the whole enclosure -- is there ventilation at the bottom, just above the substrate?

Sounds like she is taking a while to acclimate to her new environment hence the lack of webbing. Looks like grooming as others suggested, abdomen looks healthy as well.

Can't think of anything else to do at this point, since you mention that she has access to water, just monitor her. If she starts spending more time on/around the ground, then you should start to be concerned.

Mine does that.

Not sure why you’re concerned - you mention nothing relevant from my opinion

does not seem like a death curl to me
i also would not worry about it not webbing around yet, some spiders take months to acclimate and if the terrarium is set up properly there isn't much else you can do
maybe it started grooming and decided to chill tarantulas are hardy creatures and in my experience it is best to not monitor them at all times, they do strange spider things sometimes
i guess the "not monitoring them at all times" happens when you have so many you just don't have the time to check on them every single day

lol, I know...I'm sorry. I am a worry wart. I'm also a few feet away from my spoods all day and this one is the one that I decided to get first, after researching for a long time. I grew her up from 1/4 her size. She is my favorite. She has days she just looks like she's barely holding on all weird looking on the side.
I have 8.
Thank you

Keep in mind, while avics are known to be prolific webbers, they typically don't web a lot all of the time....Most webbing will actually occur in the days or weeks just prior to molting.

I see nothing out of the ordinary in your pics to be concerned about.

Death curls are usualy on the ground if there is no webbing or hide.

even if its not moving, its just tarantuling.
