sluggish behavior is common prior to a molt for many Ts.

a dark abdomen is also a tell tale sign of an impending molt

I'm gonna have to agree with the 2 previous posters...all signs lean towards molt. Just be sure to keep the humidity a little on the moister side, and don't mess with it until it has hardened from the molt (that could take several weeks for a larger T). You should have a very pretty fresh T soon enough! :overheadclap:
