Still fairly new to this hobby, maybe 5 months in.
I have a B. Emilia sling that is about 1/3" or smaller. It's got a clear container and burrowed up against the side. I noticed that over the past week it's gone from a see through tan to a dark black but hasn't molted. The whole body has changed color, not just the abdomen. I've seen my other slings put on more color as the molt but never without one. Is this normal for very small slings? I know b. Emilia is a dark as an adult but I was under the impression it would start it's coloration as it molted.
It's not dead either, I've observed it moving around it's burrow.
2 photos posted. About 1.5 months apart. No molt in 5 months. Temps kept around 74°F.
