Message: <blockquote data-quote="spiderengineer" data-source="post: 10520" data-attributes="member: 515"><p>like it has been said the older they get the farther between molt become usually reaching to once a year. this usually also mean that premolt will be come longer as well. in some case like with rose they can be in premolt for over a year. once a T has molted you need to wait some time after the molt before they will be interested in food. again this depends on how old they are, with older ones needing a couple of weeks and slings needed a few days. as far as the running out of crickets T can go long times with out needed food especially a B. smithi. most people feed once a week, but some think that is still to much feeding. so in short since we are talking about a B. smithi you don't need to worry about not being able to feed her because you don't have any crickets.</p></blockquote><p></p>
