Hello everybody,

I have a mature male poeciletheria metallica and he's been acting very odd lately. He has been curled with all of his legs under him (belly down, back up) for days, and has been mostly responseless. He has also been hanging from some leaves in the same corner of his cage, dangling only by his front pair of legs. He would only twitch a few legs after a few soft proddings. Now i have found what I am about to share with you in a picture. Is hr molting... Or dead? I have had him a year and he has never molted. 20200525_112221.jpg

Weird, I went to edit my post and this is what was saved. Anyway, looks dead to me. Post pics of entire enclosure please. I thin you might be keeping it too dry.

It's dead and since you mentioned it as mature male, it looks like he has passed on.
