I was wondering if anybody in this community ever found one of there spider starting to death curl, not already in it, put moving into a death curl, then brought them back to normal health.
The reason I ask this is because I bought a WC Cobalt Blue, and I changed him from his holding cell into a real cage, and a few days later I found him going into a death curl. At this point I thought maybe he hasn't been drinking his water for whatever reason, so I flipped him onto his back and dropped some droplets of water onto his mouth, then he kinda got angry and flipped himself back over into a Death curl right into his water bowl >.<. I fished him out immediately and placed him right side up on the substrate, and he stopped moving for awhile. Then I tried the "Raise the Humidity" technique I know people use for bad molts. So I put him in my bathroom and started the shower on hot water. the extra humidity made him move his legs a little bit, but still nothing, so I tried letting him be and he died =(.
Anybody else have this kinda experience and had the Tarantula live?
EDIT: And also post what you did to keep him alive
