Agreed that a current photo would be awesome. Like the others said, it is very likely she is in premolt. If she had been eating well up until recently, there is really nothing to stress over. Or, she could be fasting as it's winter and the time of year when many of mine seal themselves up for a while. Two of my three B. albopilosums are currently buried and haven't eaten in weeks. Just keep water available and, if you're worried, try dropping a cricket in every couple weeks or so. If she doesn't take it, pluck it out and try again later.

No worries!

[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 66108, member: 1152"] Agreed that a current photo would be awesome. :) Like the others said, it is very likely she is in premolt. If she had been eating well up until recently, there is really nothing to stress over. Or, she could be fasting as it's winter and the time of year when many of mine seal themselves up for a while. Two of my three B. albopilosums are currently buried and haven't eaten in weeks. Just keep water available and, if you're worried, try dropping a cricket in every couple weeks or so. If she doesn't take it, pluck it out and try again later. No worries! :) [/QUOTE]
