Gravid or Premolt???

Gravid or Premolt???

She is really fat, but not balding so I am wondering whether or not this is premolt. She doesn’t eat.
balding is not a sign of moulting. All bald patches mean is that they have flicked hairs for whatever reason.The abdomen is very large so I would not be offering food anyway as they can actually have problems moulting if too big. Just make sure fresh water is available and just leave him or her to either not feed for a couple/few months or moult. If you see a silk mat being put down and the spider then on it's back, then it is deffo moulting. Hope that helps :)
Have you paired this spider if you are thinking gravid?
