Molting help

[Tammy Richardson]

My T.Stirmi hasn't eaten in at least a month. She's been just killing the crickets and leaving them. Is she possibly in pre-molt?

 

[Enn49]

She could be. Are you certain she's not just leaving empty carcasses?

 

[Tammy Richardson]

No. They are killed & uneaten. I've had a live one in with her for over 24 hours & she hasn't touched it. Going to remove it today.

She looks as though she may be about to moult in that photo.

 

[Tammy Richardson]

Thank you! This pic was taken yesterday. How long is a T in premolt?

 

[Enn49]

It can vary enormously depending on size, humidity etc. Some Ts will eat right up until the moult others can fast for weeks.
