40 Gallon Tank Setup

Normal behavior. Try feeding again in a few days.

Good morning.

A few days ago I ordered 500 banded crickets from Josh's frogs.

I like these over the first batch that I bought from the other company, the other company, there were different size crickets and they kept dying quickly.

These banded crickets from Josh's frogs are pretty girthy and they won't stop chirping lol

Yea, banded ones are the best in my opinion. You could even add dermestid beetle larvae as a cleanup crew for them.

I'll look into that.

Looks so dope with the lights! Glad she’s fattening up, she’s in good hands now.

I’m glad this thread popped up for me. Just got my Stirmi, yesterday and was concerned about the ab size, and it looks similar to how yours was when you received her. Mine ate 6 crickets right away. How long did it take for yours‘ ab to plump up?

It will take your T at least a week or more to plump up to where the abdomen reaches or exceeds the size of the carapace.
