Yes, I know, that's too little time to start worrying like this.But still.  Better soon than later <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Today I tried to give it a mealworm and it rejected it. I've seen that people say you should feed them when their abodmens look small, and honestly I don't know if it looks small or not. Does it look small to you?I would also like to know when I should try to feed it again... Tomorrow? In three days? In a week?Also.  My local pet store didn't have any crickets or roaches so mealworms is all I have for now.And how can I tell if it's in premolt?ALSO. Why did the name changed from B. Smithi to B. Hamorii?Anyways here's  a pic. He/She's about 2 inches. It's name is Samhain. The substrate is a mix of coconut fiber which was all chunky and gross (is it supposed to be like that?) and soil. (don't worry, it's pesticide free, it even says it's safe for animals).[ATTACH=full]26761[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
