Shes fine...in almost 40 years of raising tarantulas I've never had one stuck to a screen top. A ventral shot of her abdomen (the part that usually touches the ground) can give us a idea what she is.
Ok thank you for the advice. Shes already down and webbed herself off in the corner of the tank(of course she didnt use the burrow I made). If ever I get a shot of her up against the glass I'll post it for your opinion. Shes still hasn't eaten. Is it still likely due to a molt even though shes 5 inches? Not sure how often if at all a cobalt blue will molt after 5 inches as I have read 5 is their max size.(still learning)Shes fine...in almost 40 years of raising tarantulas I've never had one stuck to a screen top.

Ok will do. I took a few pics of her underside just now since she was roaming. Any guesses as to whether its actually a she? Or are these pics too unclear?Older tarantulas go along time without eating before a molt. Just keep the water bowl full.

Ok thanks il try to get a better angle. The circled area is a little more rounded in a female correct? Or at least I think that's what i read when i googled itImpossible to say from such angle. What you need for ventral sexing is a photo like this
I circled the area that should be as clear and sharp as possible, because that's where the epigastric furrow is.
