My B.smithi 1" sling has made a cave like burrow! He/She never done this before! I had it a few days after Gail had hers bought! I think mine will moult! What do you think? Its been on a fast since December!

My Curlyhairs have been making webs(unusual) will they moult soon? thanks,

molt?

I'd say that we have insufficient info. Is your Brachy disproportionately fat when you compare the abdomen to the legs? Do you see a patch of skin where the bristles are missing and is it dark instead of flush pink?

Is the web that your other ts are spinning a flat, dense mat?
Do they meet the other tests above?

If the answers are all 'yes', I'd say that you have some tarantulas about to molt.
