Has my tarantula passed?

my tarantula has been in this position for over 12 hours now, and the only difference i noticed from last night is the presence of the poop. i got him crickets early yesterday, and now im noticing one cricket who keeps returning to and nibbling on his back left leg (only 1 out of like 10 and not constantly) 2 legs are folded under, the rest are varied and his body appears flat on the substrate... please let me know what you think :( i'm pretty sure he's a mature male. i know to remove the live crickets just in case, thank you

Have you tried nudging a leg with a brush to see if there is any reaction?

Looks gone. Sadly, MM's don't last as long as females.

Sorry for your loss.

I'd leave him a bit then try again but if still no reaction I'm afraid it looks as though he may have gone to spidey heaven.
