Hard to tell, but it doesn’t look like a full on death curl. My A. seemanni molted in a very strange position this summer and it was her first molt in my care (after 1.5 yrs) and my first molt ever, so nervewracking to say the least! Hope your T is ok, and keep us updated!

She is fine! Thank you for your response, she was just in an awkward position but has now moved around and responsive :)

Here's pics of her panic-inducing molt position. What a little freak :T:

My cambridgei, Heart Attack, did the same exact thing. She was on the ground, in an odd position. I didn't want to disturb her for fear she was in a molt or may have injured herself some how but maybe an hour later she was at the top of her enclosure wondering about. Two weeks following that, she had molted.

So I'm glad to see everything was ok. Cute fuzzy though!
