Default Does my chileas bum look big?

My chilean Rose, Charlotte had her pics taken today cos I wanna know if you think this is a bum of a spider thats ready to molt. She hasnt shown any signs of pre-molt (such as webbing etc) and climbed around alot the other day, but she hasnt molted for me before and I find it very hard to tell with her. The bald bum happened ages ago when she got out of her cage, so thats not a sign. She hasnt eaten in the last week, but she does fast alot anyway.

Here she is:

She's going into pre-moult. Her skin is darkening on her bald patch.
Baldness is not a sign of moulting, its the skin underneath that is...
Rosie's always fast so its nothing unusual.

Ours has had a big bum for the last 3 years, so no worries about eggs.
