I have an adult female B. Auratum, her colors look really faded and she moves rather slow (but brachys are slow movers).
She ate a mealworm two days ago, but was kind of slow of catching the prey.
I see her move around at times against the glass climbing to the top of the ceiling of the enclosure, but not upside down (enclosure is not that high, about 1.5 times taller than her).
She kicked hair once when I was padding down the substrate one time. (so she is alert)
Question is:
How often do large adult female Brachys molt and how long is the pre-molt?
Do they still eat a little during pre-molt?
Is a long pre-molt a sign of a bad molt to come? or a wet-molt? or perhaps impaction?
