She hardly eats and is growing fat! I think she's full size so i doubt its a moult.

Fingers crossed

Good luck!

Any sign of embryos through the membrane? This species is small enough that I suspect they'd be visible as she gets close.

I might see embryos in the last pic . . . barely. It doesn't look very promising in terms of babies.

it looks like my OCF at the moment and that is in premolt, exactly the same shape.
I'll try and get a picture up when the batteries from my camera have charged!
