Message: <blockquote data-quote="CurlyT" data-source="post: 234339" data-attributes="member: 48616"><p>So I think my T. Albopilosis is in premolt. It's not eating, very lethargic (usually when I open the cage it scurries a bit but right now it just sits there), refusing food, big shiny butt, seems like all the signs I've heard of. This is the first molt I've gone through so my question is how long does this usually take? It's been about a week so far, maybe a week and a half. I keep a water dish in there and spray occasionally so it doesn't get dehydrated, its also of course burrowed but it did make a little viewing window so I can see it perfectly. Looks healthy enough, I don't see a molt mat yet, should it be laying one soon? Any advice would be great, thanks!</p></blockquote><p></p>
