[QUOTE="tarantulaguy1994, post: 48220, member: 3906"] I do have to say at his size you can feed him once a week, I would think every other day is to much. For your answer he will get a darken bold spot on his abdomen.The bold spot that has no darkening is just a sign of one that kicks a lot of bristle The closer he get he will become sluggish. Most tarantula will make a web bed a day or so before, not all though.About a week after molt he will be ready to eat again. Also spider almost never die on there back.. The reason they get the dark spot is the bristle on the new exoskeleton under the old one and the reason they become sluggish is that the mussel that they have are attached to the new exoskeleton, so it is have for them to move the old one on the out side.The reason they can not eat for about a week is that the new exoskeleton has to be soft to fit in the only one, sling with only take about a day to harden after a molt and older spider will take about a week or so.
