This female is ~4.0" DLS. I've had her for 19 months, since she was ~0.25 inch. All molts have been uneventful, last one before this one was in April. She gets fed a small to moderate sized meal every 7 to 14 days. She's never been a fat spider. There have been no changes in enclosure or husbandry. I caught these pics of her the day she molted (8/8/2012) before she had righted herself. I thought the epigastric furrow looked a little 'poochy' but figured as she hardened it would return to normal.
Yesterday (4 days post molt) I caught these pics of her when she was up on the glass. (Sorry for the poor quality - best I could do through webbed glass with a cell phone camera...)
Sort of looks like she is trying to prolapse her girl parts. Anyone ever seen this before? I'm planning on putting her on near starvation rations until next molt so as not to put undue pressure on the area.
