yeah, my Chilean Rose did the same exact thing to me today. He was on his back and not moving at all. I gently moved his legs and they were pretty rigid just like in the first part of the video so I came here to do a search on this. That video gives me hope at least.

I don't want to handle him while he is getting ready to molt, but just wondering if I should put him back on his back again, or do you think he will flip himself over on his own?

If it was on it's back,it was molting and it is not the same concept.

molt

during the time lapse the T kinda syncs up with the music. I had a pair or Haplopelma Minax and they both stiffened up ike that. I was convinced they were going pre molt. I waited a week and a day and then they just started to smell really bad. I never got to pair them. good to see your sling made it though rob.

Rob plays "I Will Survive" on one of his videos...yup, I've seen it all. {D;P

I'm glad the little one was just molting. Was probably very confused after the molt. "You don't poke a spider when it's doing it's molting thing! Sheesh, can't a T get some privacy!?"
