HELP! I accidentally overfed my T

[Dan3]

Ok! Again, I'm new to the hobby.

I thought that my T was hungry since she usually stays at the opening of her burrow and she readily takes the insects that I drop in so I just kept dropping insects every time she does it. Oh and I haven't had the chance to see her whole abdomen until now so I wasn't able to see if her abdomen was still proportional to the rest of her body. So she kind of got fat. Should I just stop feeding her and wait till she's thin again or . . . yeah maybe I should just withhold on feeding for now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks!

Just make sure she has a water bowl at least (depending on the specie you may need to be misting) and its ok to with hold a couple feedings. Just keep her hydrated. Typically, you can offer an adult or juvie T one prey item a week and be just fine (and even over feed them at times).

She's a B. albopilosum about 3.5" but her abdomen is kind of not proportional to her body. I would have loved to put up some pictures but she's kind of shy and only comes out in semi darkness. Thanks for the Advice. Much power to you!

Just stop feeding for a couple weeks. No worries. Like Dalilah said, make sure there is a water dish with fresh water available and your T will be fine.
