[QUOTE="Phil, post: 73339, member: 4151"] I have a fire leg the same size so a couple of things here, at that size, a bald patch is not usually a sign of a molt, more that he/she has just flicked hairs. If there is a bald patch and a molt due, the bald patch will be black (new hairs forming underneath) If there was a black bald patch and now there are hairs with a brown/beige bald patch then he/she has molted and has already flicked hairs post molt. An up to date pic of any bald patch as well as the fangs suggested by others would also help. Personally, I would check for signs of the above before offering food although looks a decent size and would frighten off most crickets anyway :) [/QUOTE]
