Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kurt Nelson" data-source="post: 9521" data-attributes="member: 394">Pre molt starving, plus me not wanting to feed it for two weeks after led to being a month.  So I threw the cricket in today because I knew sir legsalot was a good eater and every time I've thrown in a cricket He/She snatches it up within 24 hours.  But knowing that it's been a month I figured He/She would be pretty hungry.  I threw the cricket in and quickly grabbed my Iphone to video take Him/Her snatching it.  By the time I grabbed my phone, it was in my pocket, He/She had already grabbed it and started sucking the juices.  Was very disappointing!  Just my little story. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> He/She is doing great after the molt, some weird activity, but I'm going to assume it was because He/She was hungry.  Hopefully He/She goes back to normal after this great feast.</blockquote>
