First time spider mama, our sweet Georgia has been hiding in her hammock and when I peeked the other evening she was upside-down and not moving with misting or a gentle breeze. I dont want to assume the worst but is it possible its a molt situation? Her legs aren't curling up. Ive been misting daily and trying to keep a closer eye because she hasn't molted in the time we've had her starting in December and figured it was coming.

When I peeked a few days later, it appears she's in the same position. Is this typical or is it likely she's passed on?

What size is the spider, these don't live long. Also the misting every day will be harming it not helping. Post some pics of what you can see, they don't take longer than a day to moult.
