It molted not long after I got it (spent about a month in its burrow, not eating), had a few meals, went into its bottle cap hide about a month ago, sealed itself off and hasn't eaten since. It's driving me nuts, lol! I can occasionally see it because it dug out a little peep hole on the side, so at least I know it's alive.My Versi juvi is constantly moving up and down its webbing tube, probably depending on where the warmest spot is. Right now it's sitting at the bottom. I reckon it could be in premolt, as it, like yours hasn't eaten in a while (about 2 weeks) and is staring to look a little duller than before. I guess, Tarantulas just grow when they need to and don't keep to a certain time frame. Not spiders, but my corn snakes often have phases where they shed only a month after their last time and they only get fed once a month.</blockquote>
