It's always best if you can use the proper names, although you won't get shouted at here if you don't, common names can get confusing as there are often more than one T with the same or similar name.

I just love the curly hairs, I got a free one and fell for it so I now have 3 :)

Welcome to the forum!
I'm relatively new myself to keeping personal T's. (Although I have tended them in the past for others) they tell me as long as it's eating what you feed and the abdomen is nice and plump they are getting enough to eat. I tend to feed mine till they stop eating. My largest T is about 5 inches and easily eats2- 3 large crickets at a feeding.
