I need a very clear picture of her to tell if she is in premolt or she is just not interested in food. If she has bald patch that would help with finding out if she is in premolt easier because that skin color turns dark when its in heavy premolt, there is 1 thing you need to watch out for when she is in heavy premolt, keep the water dish full at all times and if its bone dry keep the substrate near water dish moist so it creates some humidity for her since tarantulas do need humidity while they are molting</p></blockquote><p></p>
