Message: <blockquote data-quote="limede" data-source="post: 16998" data-attributes="member: 980">Hello there,my adult female G. porteri (that i own for about 3years now) on the last 9months only eated 3times (start of the summer is when she actualy eated something).I'am kinda concerned, but at the same time, she looks healthy and not skinny at all. I feed her (or try to) superworms, rarely crickets (when i can find some on the local stores) and i've already tried to feed her dubia roaches, with no success.Here's a video of her some months after i got her. (disregard the music <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />)[media=youtube]YHmem37KRzo[/media]She is a little bit skinnier than that now, but nothing significant in my opinion. I'll try to get a pic of her next friday, since I'am in the university right now.Whenever I throw a food item in front of her, she will only get in a defensive posture and not attacking. That's what i've found realy weird in her behavior.You would think she would be about to mold, but after 9months.... I've my doubts. She have molted 3times since i have her, if i can remember them all.Any help will be apreciated, cya <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
