[QUOTE="Pider, post: 27053, member: 2862"] So about a little more than a week ago my 6 month old G. Rosea molted for the first time in my care He came out very gorgeous, and now owns a set of spurs and bulbs at the end of his pedipalps– and not shockingly, a smaller abdomen. Also not surprisingly, he has NEVER eaten since I got him at all (little over a month ago) and continues to refuse food though his fangs are black from what I can see. I realize the whole "weirdly fasting G.Rosea" is so totally not uncommon at all, and I'm probably being overly worried, however I don't think it hurts much to ask the proper sizes of a male T's abdomen as I have read over and over that they are smaller body wise. Also, I'll add that for whatever reason he never extends his fangs during a defensive posture (just started doing those after molt, my cute Jekyll and Hyde) and I'm not sure if that matters at all but some have sworn to me that theirs almost always do this and it adds to the worry that a fang problem may have occurred during molting. I would greatly appreciate any clarifications on this. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
