Molting

[AndrewBush89]

I'm new to the hobby so I clearly don't know a whole lot on anything about t's but is there a sure way to tell if your t is getting ready to molt?

They will start to lose hair and get a little dingy looking and their abdomen will turn black where the hair is missing! That's the biggest sign. Then they'll flip and molt soon after their butt turns black!

They'll also refuse meals

I just got to t's both are g. Roseas one is eating fine but the other one is refusing to eat and last night when I came home it had dug into the side of its enclosure and refused to move. I know g. Roseas are notorious for fasting for long periods of time but this one spends the majority of its time not nessesarly in a death curl but close to it then will come out of it temporarily

Ok I know I posted on this a week ago but I'm new to the hobbies I have a one inch sling that just molted how long should I wait to offer it food?

 

[Chubbs]

I'd say about 3 or 4 days. Try sprinkling some water droplets in front of the sling. If it attacks them, then that means it's ready to eat.
