My girl hasn't moved at all even when I brush her leg to cheack if she is alive for the past 8 hours. I thought she was molting because yesterday she was waving her legs a little but she eventually stopped moving and she has no response at all to outside stimulus. Is she dead or still molting I can't tell if I should panick or just relax for a couple of days. Does anyone have experience with a spider molting successfully on thier own after more than 24 hours.

The photos are blurry but from what I can make out, your "girl" looks like a mature male and the survival rate for post ultimate moults is not good.

Thank you, can you tell me how you deduced that it was a male. I appreciate it, he's still the same so I belive your right. I didn't think he was a male because i'm new at this, so I wasn't mentally prepared at all.
