I am new to owning a T. I am just wondering is there a possibility that she is currently in pre-molt

1st image was when put her in tank she was wandering about first few days (ate a small mealworm)
2nd image was when she blocked off the entrance to her hide completely.

She did last night though re-open this up as there was signs she had been at the water with substrate in the dish

3rd image she has reclosed off the entrance (not fully like the 1st time)

4th image is I have zoomed in from the pic to show closer of her abdomen (just wondering if this could be a sign of pre-molt

Sorry about the quality of the pic as it doesn't really show her true colour black with red hairs (probably caused by flash on phone).

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated

The abdomen doesn't look like it's in premolt. But who knows, I've had specimens with smaller abdomens molt.

Premolt or not, if it seals up its burrow, leave it alone.
