How the tarantula dies is on the care you give it (or lack of) and could be from old age. When the tarantula dies (majority of the time) it curls up in a little ball. When it lays on it's back, it is not dead!!! It is only molting and should get up in a couple hours. Molting is when they shed their skin in order to grow and get bigger! Good luck!

When it is going to molt it will flip onto its' back... so it is not dead if it is doing this BUT if its' legs are curled under its' body in a death position, then it is probably dead. Rule of thumb is to wait a few days, just in case!

hey kill their prey - by injecting venom from their fangs. The venom contains powerful digestive enzymes which liquefy the insides of the prey.

Some tarantulas may be caught by predators, such as wasp. Other tarantulas may starve or get a disease. Only some of the tarantulas will survive into adulthood.

How can you tell the difference between a female or male tarantula?

In most cases it is impossible to sex a tarantula externally. One waits until molt, and the shed exoskeleton (molt) can be examined. Only the Mature male of some species can be identified visually by the presence of mating hooks on the first pair of legs after the ultimate (final) molt.
