Hello,
We need some advice on my daughters A. Avicularia. We got 'Charlotte' from Petco in Jan 2016 and rehoused her as shown below. Typically she stays on her wall hidden in the leaves, only coming down when she is hungry. She eats a med cricket about once a week. She has not molted since we got her.
Yesterday morning she was on the surface but would not eat a cricket. The cricket was removed and we assumed she was preparing to molt. She has now appeared to be in a death curl. Yesterday evening, I very gently nudged one of her legs and she changed from curled position and ran into the corner and sat back down. This morning i tried again and she is not moving at all.
Appreciate any advice on if this is molting behavior, or if not what is the cause?
