I'm hoping this behavior is just a sign of an impending molt but I've never seen it before so I'm a bit worried. My adult smithi has been in my care for two years and has not once refused food until two months ago. She is slower than normal and has rubbed some hair off her behind since last night. None of this would concern me except when she walks she drags her abdomen instead of carrying it off the substrate like normal. I only noticed because there is a little indentation behind where she walks. I took a picture but I'm not sure if it comes across well enough.
Is this just another possible sign of a molt? Or should I be concerned? I've been caring for ts for a few years now but only my little one have molted for me as of yet. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
