Wtf is wrong with you?!

My baby spider is like that too.. She sleeps half hanging off of stuff, or wedged funny..
My cinni male got himself stuck between his hide and the back of this terrarium and I had to pull everything out to get him out and he huffed and puffed the whole time like I was the bad guy :p

I know right, they're so ungrateful when you check to make sure they aren't dead or injured.

My spider was laying in his hide all twisted and sort of upside down. My heart stopped.. I'm noticing a pattern with this thread..

Ayup.

My adult spider is as normal as a spider can be (just a tiny head wobble @ feeding time), but one of his babies from this year is SUPER weird... he doesn't really wobble, but twists his head and flips his body in the strangest ways. It's not a constant thing, so I don't feel he's suffering any, but he does it frequently enough that it no longer scares me. Those crazy spiders, I swear! A few examples of my little guy:

He stayed like this for a good 5+ minutes, before I finally poked him "back to reality." I think this is his version of periscoping?




And this is from when he ate a meal upside-down... talk about looking dead!

Haha, yeah, mine likes to go upside down with only his head every once in a while, but nothing like what I see here lol. I kind of wish mine did these things do I could see it in person!!

I feel like my spider should be in a locked padded tub so she cant hurt herself.... Mulitple times i w have walked in the room and herad thumping and 1st thought is o crap i left a rat in someone cage... Nope just my spider hitting her head against the side o the tub. Hes gunna knock her self out one of these days..



Wait till your females start laying inverted while developing... Gets me everytime

[LotsaBalls]

This always freaks me out!

But it's a good sign!

This is my female bee! Its not nice thinking they are dead especially when they don't move when you prod them the first time!

I've heard so many stories about spiders scaring their owners.

A spider het pied gave me a freak out like that. This is how he was under his hide, sleeping! He was in isolation due to being a new pick-up. This one belonged to my dad (he returned it).

Oh man, these pictures are hilarious. Now I don't feel quite so angry at Charlotte.
