So my A. Chalchodes refused food for the first time in my care today. She's also very sluggish, usually she runs when I open the enclosure but she kind of just sat there and slowly walked around while I prodded at the cricket. It touched her foot a few times and she just ignored it, she attacked once but didn't bite. I overflowed her water and gave a wet corner which I don't usually do but just incase. I know this species usually goes on long hunger strikes and takes a while to molt, I've had her since last October. I also removed a decoration for more space to molt. Anything else I can do? I'm just nervous because I really love her and I've heard so many molt horror stories it's gonna be hard to wait for her to fully get through it. [ATTACH=full]75173[/ATTACH]
