So, I'm quite new to the hobby. This is my first sling a (brachypelma albopilosum) and I'm wondering if the dots on her abdomen are like signs of pre moulting. I just fed her a pinhead cricket to notice that she had dots on her abdomen. I've never experienced my first molt yet so all of this is new to me but I know she/he shouldn't be eating this aggressively if she was preparing for a molt. She/he has all the signs though, she dug a little den, she is moving a little bit slower than usual, but she's still eating. But anyways haha, I'm sorry if I got a little beside the point; pretty much I noticed these specs on her abdomen which looked kinda like the exoskeleton was pulling away if that makes sense it looks like air bubbles under the skin. And I was just wondering if this is a sign of a molt about to occur or the very very bad alternative a disease!!! I'll attach a picture below, thanks to all those who help I greatly appreciate it. (I hope me being very new to this doesn't annoy you, but I didn't know where else to turn.) Ps: the substrate is moist therefore why it looks very odd in the picture.
