My Birdeater has a bald spot on his ass which is usually a lighter pinkish color, but recently became a dark color, is it getting ready for a molt?
thanks

most likely. it can take up to a month for them to molt or at least thats how long mine that molted yesterday took. they put on quite a bit of size when they molt as well.

I love how LP's get so big so fast. Mine is now big enough to where there's a gap in between when it stops eating and when it's bum turns black. Kinda sucks, but that's why you get a bunch of T's so you don't have to worry about being impatient.
