@Scarabyte They don't always get very shiny, especially as juveniles or adults. What I have noticed is:
refusing food
more reclusive
less active
increased webbing
may have trouble gripping smooth vertical surfaces (the tarsal pads, which provide the friction for climbing smooth surfaces, wear out, and as the old exoskeleton separates from the new one, they lose sensitivity and control)
@Ungoliant yeah, she's fallen twice? directly onto the cocofiber, no injuries one time she was carrying a superworm though, only to fall, and walk over, drop the worm into the waterdish and left.
Nice pic!! They don't all show signs of premolt. Refusing food can be simply be a result of not being familiar with the new enclosure. A nice big full water dish, but no misting is just what you need.
@Whitelightning777 Yep! No misting, one corner is a little damp due to her tipping her dish over, plenty of climbing room, she's been drinking plenty, have to fill the dish every day or two
