first time here so I’m not sure where to go to post. Have a C Versi that’s about 1yr old and molted Sunday night. 4th molt with me and it’s looking really skinny this time. I know it’s usually a week or longer before feeding but since it’s so skinny, would it be ok to feed today or should I wait a few more days? Thanks in advance

Few more days won't hurt, could also try pre-killed prey. After a molt, the abdomen size could look concerning.
Do not worry, as this is normal.

Welcome to the forum and Ratmosphere is quite correct. Better to wait and err on the side of caution.

First, welcome to the forum. As above, leave it a few more days. When a T molts, it changes it's fangs. So unless the fangs are hardened, feeding too early could be disastrous for your T.
