You haven’t provided enough data in a clear manner, be more specific with the info you provided.

It seems OK- but the pics aren’t that good of showing the abdomen.

That's a fine lookin' little spider you've got there, friend. One thing new tarantula owners always seem to find unnerving is the vast swaths of time that can elapse between meals with these guys.
Viper is right, you should absolutely read up on your animal there, but he neglected to mention that he himself penned an excellent overview for that genus' care specifically. See that hot pink link below his post? Click on it....

My avic won't eat for almost a week now is it full or should I be alarmed? It just molted last time, maybe not pre molt no plump abdomen or anything.
Maybe it isn’t hungry. This is NORMAL

It also depends how much you have been feeding it, what and the size of the prey.

So many factors come in to play.

On another note, you could get a peice of wood that goes higher.

And the water dish should be either on the ground, or right up against the wood....having it out in the middle of nowhere away from all of its security isnt the best option for your t.
