Goliath moult..

[james41777]

I found my goliath (about 2.5") (T.blondi) on its back!
it has been completely flat on its back for about an hour..
is this ok?
i carefully sprayed the sides of the cages ..etc.
how long do they normally remain flat on their back?

 

[Arachnophilist]

depends.. several hours most likely.. just dont disturb it and enjoy the show.. post pics too if you can.
