Jumping Spider sling has not left its hammock for nearly 4 days. Is it in pre molt?

New spider owner here.

My jumping spider sling who used to be quite active is now not resposive to my finger moving around it’s enclosure anymore.
She/he has been in its hammock for nearing 4 days now and has only left very briefly 3 days ago. She/he did eat 4 days ago but is now refusing food. My jumper has reinforced it and made it much thicker than before. The jumper is not dead because it has moved, even today.

(Since I have two Phiddipus Regius slings one of them molted last week, but it took a day of this pre molt behavior. This one is taking a long time, but it is slightly bigger than my smaller one…)

I heard since they are slings molting shouldn’t take *that* long for them. But information online varies. ><
Any feedback would be appreciated. <3

I wouldn't worry, spider knows best! Larger specimens do tend to take longer to molt and recover. Give it time, the jumper knows what it's doing!

Jumper hasn't shown itself since i got it 4 days ago

I got a new female regal jumping spider 5 days ago and ever since the day after she has sealed herself inside her cocoon and not shown herself since. I had a P. regius in the past but she was older and never took this long to molt. Given that she hasn't eaten with me it could have been 6 days...

Oh my god. She/he came out and is now spinning webs. She/he never molted. LOL!!!! WHAT THE HELL?!
Is it the fireworks or do spiders sometimes just want to chill?

Yes this has happened to me before. Seems normal.
