Ok just curious about some behavior from my GBB. So
I’ve got a GBB that’s about 3 1/2 dls and is to the best of my knowledge male. It’s been a while since it molted last. Maybe 5/6 months. It went on a fast for about 6 weeks and was expecting a molt but the past 2 weeks has taken crickets. It has its webbing plus a have a clam shell anchored vertically in the substrate so it can get behind there and hideout when it wants. It likes it back there. Never once threat posed or kicked hairs at me. I noticed it rubbing at its abdomen like it was kicking hairs in its hide earlier. He wasn’t provoked or scared. I have him where I can watch from a distance and noticed it then. My question is do they do that when laying down a molt mat. He’s been in this critter keeper and rehoused for about 4/5 weeks now. There’s no mold or mites that would be annoying him and causing to kick hairs. Just wondering if this is a premolt sign.
