[QUOTE="Talmon Glidden, post: 37666, member: 3373"] So my G. pulchripes sling just molted for the first time in my possession (Also my first tarantula, so it is the first molt I've experienced, pretty exciting.) and it has been a little over 2 weeks since the molt and he (was able to sex him with a microscope) is still not eating! I would say he is just fasting, because his species does that, but he is even skinnier than before the molt and I'm worried. Aside from not eating, he is showing many other signs of pre-molt (sluggish, VERY dark abdomen, etc.) as if he is about to double molt. Two molts in a period of 2 weeks? is that even possible? Anyway, I was hoping somebody could tell me what is going on because I'm worried. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
