Sling on His BELLY with Legs up in the air??!! Not molting

[Tatarita]

@Tatarita What species is your tarantula? Your last post sounds like it was threatposturing at you for disturbing. Not a typical first sling species behaviour...

He/she is a G. Pulchripes

If it was threatposing, you have one very feisty G.pulchripes, lol! Tempetaments can vary between specimens, but i never heard of a G. pulchripes sling being that defensive...

Haha, I know! I'm hoping it was just a little tantrum he threw & I guess he wasn't really used to people but he will be now He's such a cutie though- still resting on the sphagnum What beautiful little creatures they are.

@cold blood can probably provide some good advice on this species but I don't mist the enclosures for any of mine. When I first got them I left it moist around the water dish and they burrowed on the opposite side. Mine were a little over 1" size.
