Quick noobie question post molt last night

[Steph1304]

Hi my juvenile C. Versicolor molted last night which was a relief as I've only had her 10 days and she had been refusing food.

I know not to feed her crickets for at least a week, but I wanted to check whether I can offer her a meal worm or 2? She looks quite thin compared to pre-moult, and I don't want to starve her if she is allowed other food items.

No. Just make sure it has water and don't try feeding it for at least a week or two.

The fangs are soft and weak after a molt. They need time to harden up so the T doesn’t injure itself. Water is good. I have T’s that have not eaten for half a year…and longer.

Welcome to post-moult. She'll be fine, she won't be doing much to burn through her remaining stores.

Thanks so much for the advice, I really appreciate it!

It's amazing how much bigger she seems now! Last night I was fascinated watching her although there were times when it reminded me of something from a sci-fi/horror movie
