It could be in premolt. . . When was the last time it shed? And how big is it?

It hasn't shed in my care so I wouldn't know and I just took a measurement. She is 2 1/2 inches (DLS) That's leg span right.

Just keep an eye on it. Watch for changes in appetite and behavior for other signs of molting.

She hasn't eaten in my care either. I've only had her for a week and a half. People said she's getting used to her new environment and to wait a week before trying to feed her.

Yes she may just be settling in. Grammostolas are notorious for going long periods without eating m

Whips like it a bit moist and tailless wants it a bit dry but both will want high humidity 90% if you can provide it. 80% will do as long as you keep it cool and with water dishes

Rouge is settling nicely into her new enclosure she's been digging around happily for two days now.

Holy smoke...awesome looking creature! Is it handleable? Sorry, I always have to ask that question as I love hands-on interaction with (almost) anything that moves.This is "Rouge the Bug" my giant Vinegaroon, named for Rouge the Bat from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
I've had her for a little over a year now and I've never physically seen her eat, yet she's fat as a tick!
Does anyone else have any of these? I'd be interested in talking with anyone who does

Yes I handle her. However they can spray hot "vinegar" so caution should be observed. She raises her whip at me sometimes but has never actually threatened to spray me. She is very calm

even though it looks like she only has six legs. They are part of the pseudo scorpion family
