Possible Premolt?

[Joelolly]

Yeeeahhh, definitely don't hold your breath waiting on a B. emilia to molt.... It might molt tomorrow. Might molt sometime next month...

Should I keep trying to feed it once a week or just wait until it molts?

I'll let someone else answer that for better reassurance. Personally, I'd probably wait a while before trying to feed. If you get worried after a couple weeks, you could put one in to see if he's interested, and take it out if he's not. Keep the water dish available. Mine is a burrower, and closes the entrance when it wants privacy.

If you get to catch the molt, it is a long, stunning process that is very cool to watch. I was so lucky to catch this.

I moved the ggb under a light so I can watch it molt. I hope this is ok.

Well...I woke up about 12:30 this morning sick :barf: and decided to have a look at my B. emilia. Guess who was molting?! I'll upload some pictures when it decides to come out of it's burrow.
