Do you all think the bald patch on its abdomen indicates it might be molting soon? It was there when I bought it, and the store manager didn't know when it last molted. I fed it crockets about 5 days ago and it readily ate them. There appears to be some dark spots on the abdomen but I don't know if they're getting darker. Thanks for any help!</p></blockquote><p></p>
