[QUOTE="Emster, post: 218538, member: 33963"] So, my juvenile L. parahybana has been extra skittish and hiding a ton lately. I suspected it was in pre-molt but was not certain, so I went ahead and left a pre-killed meal worm in the enclosure just in case. I just checked and it had indeed taken it, but once it was eating I finally got a good look at the abdomen, and I have no doubts that tarantula is in pre-molt. The abdomen is very dark and shiny, but it still took a whole meal worm. Should I be concerned? Will eating now cause problems during the molt? [/QUOTE]
