Hello,
recently the past couple of days my A. avicularia has been laying partially on its side. It has part of its body laying on the substrate and the other part up against the enclosure. It is a juvenile if that matters. I'm not sure if it could be molting soon? It hasn't created a web tunnel or a molting mat but it's refused food for the past 2 weeks and it's abdomen looks a little bigger but just about the same as it always looks, no color changes, just a bit bigger. There is a tiny bald spot and its black underneath but it's been like that for a couple weeks so I haven't thought anything of it. I'm letting it do its own thing just in case it could be in pre-molt but I just wanted some opinions on what could be happening, or if it's totally fine and I'm just overreacting.
Thanks
