The photo is a wee bit blurry, but it looks like a darkening abdomen. Is it still taking food or refusing it all together? If it is refusing all food, it is highly likely in premoult.
Be careful not to leave a prey item in the enclosure of a tarantula in premoult, as that’s a very real threat...
My Poecilotheria strirata female moulted but haven’t been able to get the moult out of her cork bark tube yet.
My Theraphosa stirmi sling is mid moult just now, but he has been since last night and I’m starting to worry it won’t be a successful moult.
Brachypelma emilia
Grammostola pulchra.
Hapolopus triseriatus.
Spent ages at the BTS expo looking for a G.pulchra that was bigger than a sling with no luck. Can’t tell you how excited I am to have found one!
Wish list needs re-writing now lol.
I’d love to get some more OBT’s. I have one female at the moment, she’s the bright orange colour. Interesting how the same species can vary so much in colour.
I agree, everyone should have a Brachypelma albopilosum (Nicaragua) and a Cromatopelma cyanepubescens. I may be biased though, as those were the first two species I got. :)
The one 'must have' old world, for me, is Lapropelma violaceopes.
