Hello, I’m new to the hobby and am worried about my Caribena Versicolor sling. It’s pretty small, and I’ve had it for about a week now. When I got it, the first day it took down a small cricket after I crushed its head because I didn’t have a smaller feeder at the time, and it hasn’t ate since.
I wasn’t worried about her starving because after that the abdomen got pretty large.
Today I was checking on it, and it seemed to be acting very weird. It was in a curl, and I used a paintbrush to try and get it to move but it didn’t budge. I got it on my finger and it started to finally move around and tried to web my finger quite a bit. Every time I put it back in the vial it would become still again, barely moving.
I’ve missed the enclosure, made sure to provide plenty water. It does have a shiny abdomen. So I was thinking maybe pre-molt. But the way it’s curling up is frightening me. Any suggestions on what might be going on?
Thanks in advance
