When I bought her from a pet store, she had a very sickly hue to her abdomen, hardly ate, didnt move much and was very defensive. I think she was getting ready to die. When I bought her I did it out of pity, and anger. She very slowly improved in my care, finally molted out of it, and she's healthy and very docile and active now. She went into premolt again after the initial molt, and got the ugly Avic butt that they get, but never had that hue again. Im fairly certain it was the conditions she was kept in, but it could have been some wild caught sickness. There was a big discussion on ab about that sickly color, and many people reported deaths. She's doing great now though. I think she just needed a decent home and rest to get through it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
