Versicolor in premolt?

Hello again!

When I went to water and feed my caribena versicolor, he seemed very sluggish and uninterested in the worm. He's usually very quick when hunting! I also noticed he's been spending more time near the base of his webbing/enclosure. Is this normal for a juvenile T heading into premolt??

Sounds about right. If they're near the bottom of their webbing, that's where they will turn on their back and molt. Fasting and a dark colored abdomen are usually key signs of an upcoming molt. I would mist the enclosure just to keep the humidity up to help it during the molting process. :)
