loss of appetite and the abdomen going dark are good indicators. if it does stop eating remeber and take the crickets out as they WILL have a go at a shedding T.

B. smithi slings are often half dark brown, half white; even when not in shed. It is pretty hard to tell with really tiny slings, but loss of appetite is a good clue.

right I have a T in a pot, it is a small T about 2cm, well I took the lid off to check on him yesterday and he had shed I didnt realise he was about to shed and he had two black crickets in with him, they were literally right by him, and I thought sh*t this cant be good, so I quickly took them out and checked the spid and luckily he is fine.
