P. regalis moult question

[138]

What are the tell-tale signs of a P. regalis pre-moult??

The reason i ask is because she was eating just fine. Then from one week to the next, refuses food. Water dish is full. She's out of her burrow in the evenings as usual. Just not eating or hunting. Cricket landed on her, she seemed annoyed but did nothing. :?

With my two the way I tell is if they don't eat and their abdomens look bigger than normal. If a pokie does not eat, there is usually a reason.

her abdomen doesn't look too much bigger. but she was a tad busy last night webbing up what looks to be some sort of web/substrate wall. reminds me of a tarp. LMAO!

I'd say she's in premoult.
