i went to check her water in her cage,
and she was upside down
so i shook the cage to see if she would move
and her legs did, so i took her cage to my mom
she said she could be dying or molting
she has a web all around her,
and she hasnt eaten in about two weeks
cuz the crickets still in there
what do i do
and how will i know if she comes out
or is just dead
i love my taratula =[

She's molting.
Carefully remove the crickets without disturbing the tarantula, and keep the cage humid.

She is most likely molting because i also have a taratula and thats what happened with mine i thought it was dead though and it was very depressing but it was ok ^_^

It's normal to be on it's back while it's molting. Make sure you take out any uneaten food.Link below will tell you all about Tarantula's and molting.

She's just shedding her skin(if that's what you want to call it)! Don't worry she'llbe fine very soon. Just give her some space and then you'll see what looks like to be 2 spiders...one will be her skin.

She's moulting. Maybe next time don't shake the poor thing around during her stressful experience.

Call a vet... ask them... look it up on tarantuala sites, or call the place you got it.
