I wasn't going to go to a vet anyway, I see no point in paying for an appointment just for them to shrug their shoulders and tell me needs more substrate or something.She did take a sub-adult Discoid (essentially Dubias, but Florida legal) no problem, so I don't quite think I need to pre-kill prey, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Would it be a bad idea to try to powerfeed her to get her to the next molt? And should I keep the substrate dry just incase she has a fungus infection or something? I have an MF T.stirmi, and she hates dry substrate, so I'm not sure if apophysis are the same way.Thanks so much!</blockquote>
