VERY sadly, I have begun to suspect my Lampropelma Violaceopes has died.
I've started several threads asking for help on how to take care of this girl; she hasn't eaten since I got her about fifty-eight days ago, and she just hasn't been acting right. Now, she's curled up on her side between a bark wall and a log hideaway in the cage. I just tried moving the log hideaway, which brushed against her, but she didn't make any voluntary movements. Her legs just moved slightly from where the log touched her. Does it sound like she's dead? How can I tell for sure? All the sites I've seen just say it's most likely a tarantula is molting if you think they're dead, but I'm fairly certain that's not the case here! So when do I give up and pronounce her dead?
