Unexplained balding

[Papaya]

I have a sub adult female B Smithi who over time has kicked herself bald. Ive never handled her, am careful not disturb her unnecessarily, (other than occasionally picking out boluses, and water) Not once have I seen her kick hairs yet over the course of the last year she's got a very bald abdomen. Is there something I may be doing wrong?
Any ideas?

She may be coming up to moult.

Thank you

Do they kick the hairs off or is this just part of the pre molt process... falling off?

 

[Enn49]

They do kick them off, often around where they make their moult mat.

I see

But shes been bald for over a year.

You don't say how long you've had her but if she's been like that ever since you got her it may have been the stress of moving to a new home.

Ive had her almost 2 years. She had molted about 1-2 mos before I got her but has not molted since.

Sometimes they just kick hairs off.
I had one who kicked all the hair off his abdomen, his butt was like a bald mans head.
I wouldn’t worry about it. At least it makes it easier to see when a molt is due, as the skin will darken
