We have had it since December 22, and looked to have molted in transit,  learned we had the wrong substrate and changed it to eco earth. I think it it’s a sling. (Not sure) its about the size of a dollar piece give or take. We saw it eat for the first time since we have had it on Thursday. It’s abdomen was huge after and white looking. Next morning we found it’s coconut house had the substrate blocking the entrance. So question is could it be molting? Do we need to check to see if it’s ok?</p></blockquote><p></p>
