Is she in Premolt?

[Sicel1304]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if my G. Aureo looks to be in pre-molt? It's been a round a year and four months since her last shed, and she's refused food the last two times I've tried to feed her. Should I be concerned at all yet?

Judging by the size of her abdomen she could skip a few meals. I would not worry about her not eating just yet. As she goes into pre molt you'll notice a darkening of the abdomen. It gets pretty distinct as it gets closer. She may refuse food for a while, but its totally normal.
