[QUOTE="Volkswachter, post: 181914, member: 34028"] My M. balfouri female does all kinds of weird stuff; sometimes weird enough for me to poke her to see if she's dead. She's not. If your T is death curling; chances are there's nothing you can do (if they're younger you can ICU them to see if that helps) so generally just checking back in a few hours to see if anything's changed is all you can do. If things change then it's not a death curl. Death curls occur when the internal hydrodynamic pressure is too low to keep the legs straight; if they can straighten out and walk around normally then they're probably fine. [/QUOTE]
