I accidentally mistaken my tarantula for dying when she was molting and flipped her over, what happens now?

Question

i don't know what to do now that i have flipped my tarantula back over, will she flip back over or what?

Answer 1

If her skin is still shedding over- wet looking inside, dry scaly out- then gently put her the way you found her! Should be fine but be careful! Good luck and always remember that if they look dead, may just be playing! Really should be fine! My Aunt has one and cleaned the cage out and thought the same! put him/her back and 5 days later he/she was going strong and eating a large cricket! Not my choice of pet but hope this helps! The skin it shed was awesome to look at!  

Answer 2

Answer 3

Leave her alone!!  Flipping onto her back is perfectly normal for a molting tarantula.  When your tarantula is dying, she won't flip over, but will start to droop and her legs will curl underneath her.  She probably will try to molt in the new position, and I have heard of tarantulas naturaly molting while standing up, so she still has a chance like that.

Any interference could result in death.  You might have caused her stress or damage, but it is too early to tell with the info given.  The tarantula knows what it is doing when it molts 99% of the time, and it is a very delicate and long process (usually around 12 hours, but can extend longer).  Also, leave her alone for *at least* a week after the molt.  She will need time for her exoskeleton to harden.  Don't mess with her and don't feed her, just sit back and watch.
