Molting or No Longer Living?

[whoneycutt]

These are the best pics I could get without disturbing the hide. For the past 3 days, my tarantula has been here. No signs of any movement. I can't tell if he's actually molting or if he's dead. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!!

Your spider is possibly deceased. Have you tried to touch your spood with a paintbrush or tongs? If ever I have any doubts about a T I will always test it's disposition by interacting with it. Considering the time frame of three days and no movement I don't think things are good. Touch your T with a paintbrush or tongs and if you get some movement put your T in a container with some moist paper towels. Sometimes called a ICU for T's. Good if T is dehydrated and try dribbleing some water directly on the fangs/ mouth. There may be some here with more and better advice than mine but you're situation, if not too late, may be dire indeed! I wish you both the very best! Praying for you both.
