need help on my Brachypelma boehmei..

my 5' female boehmei not eating and it abdomen look dark and dry... it hardly move.. is she going to die or she is molting soon?

That's premolt. The bald spot just means she's a flicker, but when it's dark, that's the new hairs developing underneath the exo.

Just bump the humidity a bit and she'll be fine.

If you spot her upside-down and not moving, that's just the molting -- ignore her at this stage and don't feed her until her fangs are completely black again, which may be a week or two.

i find her movely very slowly, if i poke her legs, she will start to move abit.. not active at all.. i scare a death curl coming up... i have a water dish for it and mist at a corner in my setup..

Stop poking her. Just leave her be in her tank without disturbances. It sounds like she's very close and will molt any day now.
