[QUOTE="Kiiarah, post: 49750, member: 3984"] I have an A. chalcodes sling (about 1.75'') that I am currently working with and was advised by other keepers that it is alright to feed them a bit more than you would feed adults. Not a ton, just slightly more frequent feedings. What is your reason for looking into feeding more, does it look underweight or is there another reason to be concerned? Photos would probably help a great deal in offering feeding advice as many on here would likely recognize a healthy vs underweight T. I wouldn't say go ahead and up feedings just yet as I am unsure about the issues with moulting and since that advice was based specifically on the T I am dealing with and his/her size. Got any good pics we could take a look at? :) On a side note, those are a gorgeous species, definitely on my "want list". Gonna be gorgeous when it reaches full size. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
