Worried about A. Chalcodes sling

[RepugnantOoze]

Hey, my A. Chalcodes sling is a lot lighter today than usual. I've read they usually get darker and burrow during premolt. But my guy is lighter (from what i can tell) and out in the open. I'm terribly worried I've made a mistake with raising him.

it may have molted. they get darker bit by bit every molt, Aphonopelma dont always burrow in captivity.

Thanks. I know not to disturb him to much. Should there be any warnings signs I should look for in the mean time?

warning signs of what?

If hes unhealthy or dying. Hes never been very active or skittish and it seems even lazier now.

Lol, you are worrying too much. T's in general are very hardy. Warning signs I guess, would be a shriveled abdomen, however that shouldn't happen with sufficient hydration.

Thats very possibly true haha. Lemme just chill out. He does seem a lil fatter now that i look at him

Just make sure that it has a plump abdomen and you'll be fine.
