Hello everyone. I recently purchased this aphonopelma chalcodes and have only had her for six days now. She has not eaten at all during my care, despite how skinny she looked. She was acting pretty normal just chilling in her hide 90% of the time, but starting mid day yesterday she began to be incredibly active. She must have lapped her tank around 15 times. This morning I woke up to her on her back and thought that she was molting. It has now been nine hours and she has not moved at all. It looks like she is in a death curl to me, but she is somehow on her back. Please help in any way possible, I don't know if I need to set up an ICU or just leave her be. I know she is a desert species and the ICU could cause more harm than good, but I am just not sure. Thanks in advance for any help.
