Hey, my tarantula is currently having her first molt in two years. (In the time I had her.) Her abdomen is really shrunken up it's like 1 and a half inches about. She has refused food for two months:( Will she be ok? She's on her back and she hasn't started the actual molt yet. Her abdomen is not proportional to her body.
