I want to change up her enclosure, get rid of the sponge in her water dish, use different/more substrate, maybe add some decorations, and for sure give it a good cleaning, but I have been patiently waiting for her to molt. I am just wondering how soon that will actually be. She hasn't become inactive, that's for sure. She wanders around, and even climbs up her plants from time to time. Also, she did eat that cricket and wax worm I gave her, so I don't think she was actually fasting. She has been spending a lot of time in around her water dish. At least once I day, I see her with at least a few of her legs in there. Is that another sign that she might molt soon, or is she just an odd girl, who loves water?</p></blockquote><p></p>
