2" G. Pulchra, put some new substrate in and it looks moist in corner, should I even bother with pipette in corner?

Syringe could work.

I don’t think it’s necessary for another week or more though.
Hey I'm a bit concerned, I woke up earlier than usual today and this looks like a stress pose or death curl to me... The main difference right now is the top isn't wet anymore in the corner. Usually it's legs are outwards even when I've seen it out like this in the past and I am concerned. Please take a look at this.

There's honestly not much in the enclosure, if it's finally looking to come out maybe things are just too open and that's what it's seeing if that looks like a stress pose.

Humidity is 50% in the house right now, substrate for T is all dry except for underneath in the corner like in my picture in the original post..

Try to get a video of its movements. Seems fine from the pics, I'm unsure why it would be dying.

Lightly touch or prod it to see what happens.

Doesn't really look like a stress pose to me. Looks like the substrate is sloped, and he's just chilling on the angle.

I fed it a small cricket yesterday and the day before like a week after it molted, this isn't a sign of it still being hungry is it? I know they can go a long time without eating but I also read that if they're like this it could be a sign of it waiting for food lmao. I also know that g. pulchra is known for sitting out so
