[QUOTE="nyteovvl, post: 152913, member: 29213"] Penelope, my brachypelma albopolisum, I’ve had for two weeks now. She has a good appetite and so far I’ve been keeping to a 2 or 3 cricket feeding twice last week. I got her(?) from a live specimen supply company. I didn’t feed her the first week I had her as I wanted her to settle in to a new home and I fed a little extra this past week when I started because I didn’t know how often the company fed their stock. Anyway, she seem to acclimate to her tank well and is moving around the substrate around her hides hole. She’s left alone completely. Hasn’t been disturbed or threatened in anyway but I’ve noticed an almost perfect round bald spot nearly dead center on her back. It’s kind of creamish in color. Is she setting up for a molt? I don’t want to throw in any crickets or anything if she’s about to start. I’m prevailing upon the experience of the forum members to offer up some insight. I was going to change her substrate to a coco fiber type but I don’t want to throw her into a tizzy if she’s getting ready to begin a molt. Any help is appreciated, [/QUOTE]
