Hi, I'm new here and have a question/problem. I have a Chilean Rose and we have had her for about 5 years now and she has only had one molt so far. Anyway, I came home last night to find her upside down in her water dish (didn't have a lot of water in it). Stupid me thought she was dead, so I put my hand in to find out if she was alive. After which I realized that I could kill her by doing that. So, I realized that she was getting ready to molt if I hadn't killed her by doing that. So, I went to bed and figured that by the time I woke up in the morning she would a new spider... wrong. She is still there on her back moving her legs around every little bit. The last time she molted we didn't know it until it was all said and done, but I'm really stressing this now because I'm afraid she will die. She is my husbands and he is in the navy out to sea right now and I don't want to be the bearer of bad news for him. I did spray the cage a bit to make sure there was enough humidity for her. So, what do y'all think? Is she ok? How long will it take for this process to be done? Is there anything I need to do for her, or just leave her be? How will I know if she does die? I've heard that they don't die on there backs, but what if they are already there and they die? Anyway, thanks in advance for any help and support.
