No doesn't look too close. The bald patch will start to darken and be pretty much completely black as it gets closer.

if you feed it often you will probably see it darken within the next few weeks

Well she refuses to eat :/
Is this not the spider you JUST got? You need to give it time to settle in and get acclimated. Some spiders will eat right away in a new home, others will not.

It does not look pre molt, it looks like it's been kicking hairs...when it's pre molt the entire abdomen will darken, the bald patch from kicking will make it easier to notice this.

Shell is right.. give the thing some time.. try feeding it again mid week next week and see what happens.
