How big will a g. Pulchra be when it starts to look black? I dont know how to tell if the dark abdomen is because it's getting ready for a molt or because thats just its normal colour, I only got this little one less than a week ago.
I haven't tried feeding it yet, so Im not sure if it's refusing food. Here is a picture. (It's around 3/4")

It looks pretty close to a molt, but it wouldn't hurt to offer it a house-warming cricket. Mine molted on Monday from exactly what your little guy looks like to a slightly bigger sling that is now more gray than brown. He/she isn't black yet, but gray is closer. Beyond that, I have no idea. :D

Here was mine last week...



And then today after the Monday molt.



It was more of a change than I expected. :D

Just got home from work, and she is getting really dark! It seems like you can see the outline of the new exo beneath the current one.
