Interesting behavior from my A. Seemanni

I checked on Bianca this morning and I noticed she was laying down web outside of her hide, and as she was doing so, she was kicking hairs off her abdomen. I thought that maybe it as a molting mat, but she ate last week so I don't think she's in pre-molt. What is she up too?

Could have been a very quick premolt. Sounds like she's getting ready to me

I've had tarantulas eat a few hours before molting. Not too uncommon. I've also had tarantulas lay down their molting pad months before molting. Only the spider know when....
