[QUOTE="Telson, post: 83767, member: 7596"] I wouldn't rule out premolt. With something like this, all you can really do is wait and see. Beautiful spider, by the way. Just do as you're doing, is my advice. I would also switch her to dry coco fiber, as Enn said, with maybe a small damp corner. I've noticed that you can trigger a molt by rehousing them. Not sure if the slight stress does it, or what, but it's happened too many times with several of mine to be coincidence, in my opinion. Then again, if she IS sick, it could be putting her through unnecessary stress for no reason. Just thinking out loud...but in one pic her abdomen looks very black..looks like premolt to me. [/QUOTE]
