Hi guys, I always check my Ts 3/4 times per day, yesterday I checked him in the morning and in the afternoon and everything was the same, but when I checked in the evening he had super swollen, shiny and black abdomen. A week ago he ate a little cricket just like he normally do. Is he in pre-molt? I think he is but I wanted to be sure. How long will he be in pre-molt before molting?
I’m sorry for the low quality photos but my phone and the lights of the room sucks. Thank you all!

Yes.
No one knows when it’s gonna molt.
What a Chonk :rofl:
He really is chonky, 2 days ago I almost gave him a dubia because his abdomen was floppy but idk I felt something was weird, he was really slow moving. So I told myself to wait a few days and he surprised me! I think I’m doing a pretty good job, even though he and my B. hamorii are my first Ts. M. balfouri is on the way with the Paraphrynus cubensis!
