    I can't really tell but just keep it for a while. Either it will molt or it's died.

    When tarantulas die, their legs generally curl underneath. Sure you didn't just find your P. irminia's molt?

    That was the only thing in the enclosure. Pretty sure hes in the process of molting asked the same question over on the arachnid board

    In that case, I'd give em some peace and quiet for a bit. This is absolutely when your T is most vulnerable to injury/death.
