I've been checking in on my mex. redknee twice a day since I picked it up 2 weeks ago. It ate once just over a week ago and has been hiding in a burrow for almost a week now. Today I looked at it and its abdomen has a black spot on the back.....does this mean its going to molt?...I've heard they darken when they molt but haven't seen a pic. of what that looks like.

Yeah, it is in pre-moult stages right now. It's showing all the symptoms ;-)
A "dark" bald spot is definatley a moult symptom.
Hope all goes well. Probably be best to not disturb it !
