Earlier tonight I thought I caught a glimpse of a small amount of fecal matter near her spinnerets, but I'm not entirely sure. She also seemed to refuse food earlier when I tried to feed her a small-medium Dubia roach about 2 weeks after he last meal, I'm not sure if she just wanted to hunt it down later though. Also, she seemed to be showing a partial death curl earlier, but what baffled me was her abdomen looked perfectly normal from what I could tell, and she was only doing it with her front legs. I misted the substrate she was on, overflowed her water dish, and misted the rest of the substrate just in case she was dehydrated and then she started to walk around normally. She's been walking around fine and climbing on top of her hide since then, but I'm just worried it could be something significant. Has this ever happened to anyone else before?</p></blockquote><p></p>
