Hi guys, my LP does not want to eat and just gives me a threat posture. But I have the picture here and saw a little bald spot but kind unusual that its not that big. And now I cant see the spot. Can you guys confirm if she’s in premolt? Thank you

Hi
Does it have any bald spots on the abdomen?
If yes what colour are they?
Refusal of food is not a concern with tarantula having such a nice plump abdomen.

There are some when I got her but I ignored it since it looks like its just from hair flicking. It looks white and now I dont see it. I got her march 2

I only mentioned it as when the moult is very close the skin turns dark almost black.(It is species and size of spider dependent tho .I have Aphonopelma chalcodes with black skin for 2+ weeks now and still waiting the moult ).Its easy to spot if there is bold patch thats all.
