Big Booty Bird Eater!!!! Wishing your little guy/girl luck when the molt happens!

That’s most certainly a spider in pre moult!

 

[Nitroxide]

Ohhh big round one, yes stop feeding

A grape with legs! Keep water topped up and wait.

Incidentally, do you think it would still take food? Has it stopped showing interest in feeders? I'd still hold back anyway, it's just interesting how some species will just keep eating right up until a moult.

Yeah there’s no need to keep feeding it has enough to molt successfully.
it will molt when it’s ready to, likely not before that. Until then wait!

I have an LP not a TA like that but as soon as she starts saying no to food I take that a sign to hold off on feeding. I imagine it’s pretty food motivated otherwise?

 

[TheraMygale]

Wow you had to ask!

notice the shine and darkish color of the abdo? Thats a lovely tell tail sign. They are fun signs not all tarantulas give us.

be patient, soon a reward is coming.

i get why you are asking that. Im always curious. I know some of mine have eaten until the day of. I know how to spot it in slings now. But adults, not that much.
