Hi Everyone,
Having a little trouble with a sling of mine and wanted to get some info from a more experienced person than myself!
My G.Pulchripes went in to premolt about 5 days ago. It stopped eating and it's abdomen's bald spot went from slightly tan to jet black. It has since not molted and now is turning a very dark black/brown from its overall original tan colour.
My worry is that the exoskeleton underneath is now hardening and it has still not molted which, as you all know, pretty much means death is around the corner... I've upped the humidity but I want to know if there's absolutely anything I can do as so far, I've left it to its own devices and only checked on it periodically.
Any help is appreciated! (Photos attached!) Before
