[QUOTE="Rs50matt, post: 140579, member: 27872"] If shes premolt it could be a day or 2 before she molts that she will lay a web. Do you have cork bark/anchor points in the enclosure for her to web to? Avics like to make web tubes. I've found it hard to tell with avicularia/caribena when they are premolt by looking at abdomen. Normally they'll start to refuse food although again my versicolor still ate a few days before One thing I would say thou is if you suspect she is in premolt I'd recommend not removing her from her enclosure or handling. The "napping" in your hood could just be her feeling safe in an enclosed dark space. [/QUOTE]
