ok i just checked on them and i freaked at first cause i looked in through the tub and the adult male spider was laying belly up well half of him was belly up. is this normal i freaked and touched him and he turned over. whats up with that??????

He very well could have been trying to get into position or it could have been nothing. The best thing you can do right now is make a promise to yourself now. Here goes: "I will only check on my breeding snakes once every 24 hours by sliding out the tub and maybe 3 or 4 without sliding it out!"

If you really need to see everything front and center then you should get a display type rack or build one. They might not do anything for a couple of months, but relax if you only check on them once a day or so you will catch them in the act if they are doing something. I know it is hard, but it has to be done.
