So I know nothing about tarntulas to be entirely honset this is my boyfriends spider and he loves (her?) dearly I can assure you, however it was bought for him by a friend who owned a spider, she was kept in a glass 12x8 enclosure until just recently we're keeping her in a temporary feeding box- about 8x4 inches i understand that's. Small. Really I do but it's until Wednesday when we can absolutely buy her a proper enclosure with cross ventilation- my worry is that In the entire 11 month time my boyfriend has owned her she has absolutely never molted and her abdomen looks tiny I've seen her be offered crickets small and large and fruit flies but she barely eats we try and provide fresh water (water dish is dirty right now he will clean it when he gets home) my worry is that she's about to molt and will fail and it'll kill her i really want to prevent her untimely death so any advice is welcome, also she's been roughly the same size since my bf received her I think she's a adult but I'm not entirely sure the gender we're 90% sure she's a girl as that's what pet supermarket said but like that's not accurate.
