Hello people! This is my first post here.
I got my first T a week ago now and she's showing signs of being in pre molt, but since im so new to the hobbey I'm not sure.

She doesn't eat and is very inactive she sits still most of the time.
She has webbed a few beds in the terrarium.
And she has a bald spot on her abdomen.

If she is in pre molt how long does it usually take untill she molts?

I'd love to hear what you think!

Thanks! :)

Here's a picture of her.

Grammostola are very slow growers it could still be month's Intel it molts. Give it a other week and offer food if not taken then offer one food item every two to three weeks it might not eat Intel it molts just make sure it has water and it will be good. It might be laying out web because it might not like the substrate looks wet in the picture

Rosea are notorious for fasting. they have been known to do it for up to a year, they are also not usually super active. known as "pet rocks" in the hobby. But just offer food every couple of weeks. if it doesnt eat take it out. Always have a water dish available and dry substrate.
