So I wake up this morning and naturally, go check on the snakes.
Leon the Spider was mostly in his hide but his neck and head were sticking out of the hide stiff and upside down against the base of his climbing tree at about a 45 degree angle.
I freaked.
I didn't even want to open his house and touch him...I *knew* he must've dropped dead suddenly for no apparent reason.
But then I opened his lid and reached in to get him and he seemed to startle awake.
I think he was sleeping like that.
I held him for a bit, put him back and gave him fresh water.
He rambled around a few minutes, drank some water and went back in his hide.
He's been unusually active since this heat wave stuff started and he's at the 1000 g. wall and is off and on about eating.
Can Spiders be so screwy that they'll sleep with their head/neck upside down??
[oh, how I love to start my day with a near heart attack]
