A little lady problem I think

[siuoll]

What should I do? I can't seems to see any sign of molt to my Brachypelma Albopilosum but she isn't eating

I always give her crickets when I have but then I change to super worms or meal worms because when I heard that crickets is high on calcium and it would be hard to them to molt.
She's on 2'5 or 3 inches if I remember.

Here some pictures of my baby

Just keep the water dish full. Wait a week or two before attempting to feed again. The abdomen is nice and thick so it'll be fine.

If it doesn't molt or go into obvious premolt by then, it'll be ready to eat.

It actually motled sir, today after I posted this thread and the reason I didn't see the sign because it's on my friend's friends house
note: the reason its on my friend's house because he kept the crickets but suddenly all of the crickets died so I have it right now

I'm going to post the picture tonight or later
note: the shed has damage or destroyed that's why I thrown it.

She's bigger now actually ( I don't actually know its gender but I just assume it's a girl)

My Brachys do this when in pre-molt. Just give it time. Question, what kind of substrate is that int his pic? That's not pine shavings right???? Also, Brachypelma appreciate a good hide that offers a good dark hide. The hide in this pic doesn't seem to be offering it that...

You're actually right, those things are just actually temporary. I'm actually saving money for better enclosure,hide, and substrate for her after all I'm just a little teenager who can't buy all the things he need and don't have a job

I appreciate your honesty. A couple things, pine wood will kill your T. I have read from multiple sources that any kind of pine wood is no good for tarantulas. Coco fiber is super cheap on amazon or pet stores, I would highly recommend trying to get it off of the pine asap. I understand that this hobby can get a bit pricey but the number one priority has to be the safety and well being of the T. I would venture to say that if it's not in pre-molt than it is probably stressed and is refusing food. the sooner you can make enclosure modifications the better man I hope this helps.

Is this the only tarantula you have?

Thank you for that advice, sir. Actually that isn't a pine shaving but an oats that is food for the super worm. I change it's substrate cause it's a wood or pine shaving and I don't actually like it cause as you said its stressing her. she was actually on pre-molt on like 1 and half week or 2 weeks and just today it ecdysis and I actually suspect of it.

I can say that it's on pre-molt on 1 and half week or 2 weeks because I was there and saw a little sign of pre-molt and like the baldness of the abdomen but most expert say that it isn't a good indicator.

But this kind of problem is actually a problem to me but the money cause it's hella expensive in amazon. I mean I live in Philippines which dollar is very expensive so I think I'll just gotta find myself a cheap things here. If I can. I really hope though.

Yes sir. prolly add one when I got the money. I would probably buy a Brachypelma Smithi or Grammastola Pulchripes

Thank you very much, its actually helpful to me but one thing that is a problem to me is how can I pay her or what money remittance corp that can connect us? I'm very newbie at this and if its VISA I don't own such card

She will accept PayPal. If you don't have an account may be someone you know has one that you could use otherwise would your parents help and send a bank transfer

UPDATE:

1'5 inch to 3 or 4 inches in two months

I really got my suspecting that this is a male. I'm actually expecting that this is female.
but he actually outgrew his enclosure so I think I'm going to make one or buy one.

note:I was sleepy yesterday so I forgot to take a picture.

 

[Whitelightning777]

No pics?

No way!!

You just gotta take pics or it didn't happen!!
