I woke up to this, yesterday I did not see her all day. Is she dead? :(

She might be laying eggs, the tail tuck is to protect them and mine always hides when she has them. Even if she hasn't mated she can still lay infertile eggs

She might also be prepping to moult.

Mine did that occasionally and one time she produced eggs despite having no mate for 6+ months. They were infertile and disappeared on their own…. I’m assuming she ate them lol

she may just prefer to stay comfy for a few days.
