Laying Inverted?

[AaronAshley]

Hi everyone, my 9 month old female normal BP was seen laying inverted in her hide today. She's completely healthy and is eating great. There's no way she can be gravid. Why would she be laying like that? Some people have me scared with the IBD thing..

IBD isn't as common as some people think...

I've found my spider girl almost totally inverted before: I seriously thought she was dead. But she perked up when I opened her tub all that way: I think it was from her eating just thirty or so minutes before (never paired).

I've found some of my other balls laying somewhat on their sides too, none of them are gravid. I personally wouldn't worry and just keep an eye on her. Check to make sure your temps are spot on too.

X2...seen it many times...don't worry about it.

Thanks I know I shouldn't be worried too much. I just am in the starting stages of a large collection and wouldn't want something like that to happen. I just have never seen her lay like that before and when I googled it, IBD was the first thing to come up since I know she can't be gravid. Also I'm currently dealing with mites so that again led me to research IBD. Just being a paranoid mama

This girl was laying like that because she had a big meal yesterday. I think its just more comfortable sometimes.
