[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 71625, member: 3795"] Hello Vanessa. Hard to tell from my point of view. Fasting - even more than nine months - is no problems for this sp. Molting every two years, or even more, is normal too. But the abdomen here looks very skinny. Most probably, she's a very old lady who has done her time and she's gonna die of old age under your sweet cares. However, she could also do her "Grammostola rosea/porteri special thing", and surprise you with a molt, or even feeding again for no reasons in a week or so. It seems you haven't done anything wrong, she has all that she needs if she had been ok with you for 15 years and you haven't changed her regime recently (like changing temps, etc.). Continue giving her care, offering food once every month to see what happens (and taking it away if she doesn't eat it after 12 hours). As you don't know her age and have kept her 15 years, she's very probably quite old. Keep us updated. [/QUOTE]
