Does it looks like a premolt ?

Yosh !

I am comming here again to find some help with a brand new problem ! :D

My young GBB stopped to eat since an entire week, which at the first view looks like to a premolt, but as she seemed a bit big, I'm just thinking that she need a feeding break (I am feeding her every 3 days, as she's still little (4 cm legspan).

I took a few pictures of the abdomen and I'll let you figuring out what could it be, as I am still not used to premolt signs, exept the not eating fact and a darker abdomen, which on my opinion does not really looks like it on the pictures.

She's still moving really fast (I had to open the enclosure to fill the water dish, but she just ran out really fast to hide, and did the same when i attempted to feed her three days ago), arent she supposed to be a bit slower while in premolt ?

Well, some photos as planned (I know she feels stressed on the pictures, but it was a bit shaky when I opened the cup)

They molt regularly at that size. I would halt feeding until after the next moult :)
