On the damp side of the plastic cup container... I know, I know.. Dry it out. Getting right to that. Does it look close or in premolt?

The abdomen usually gets quite large in addition to darker when in pre-molt. Certainly larger than the carapace.

not real shiny and I am not familiar with the other spider, but it does have a sheen. The pic is weird how it didn't show and made it look velvety.

Yes. Any new world species that has the ability to kick its urticating hairs can develop a bald spot, which will turn darker and have a shiny appearance to it as they near a molt.

My G. porteri got real shiny before it molted. Could be the same with the G. rosea.
