Sickly? or not?

[chinom]

My T is losing hair on his abdomen nad his carapace is turning from alight brown to an almost whitish or cream color. is it sick or just maturing or what? any help is appreciated.:?

P.S.

I dont think it is from kicking them off. there is no reason he should. i dont handle him or scare him in any way to my knowledge, so i dont think that is a factor, unless it is just stressed.:?

might help knowing what T it is. i generally leave my Ts alone n try not to bother them to much , i know watching my regalis stresses her out n she flips n gets a mad on , quite funny n a little scary too , i make sure the lid to her tank is secure

i believe it is an A. Hentzi. does that help at all?

1 Some T.s kick hairs off from the slightest movement, say you feed it.


2, it's probably getting ready for a molt.
