It'll be three weeks and two days after she molted by then. Maybe she'll take down the Dubia. She just seems to be sitting with legs outstretched more often than not, maybe she's trying to grow to T blondi size. lol There isn't any odd behavior that I can see, no cysts on the abdomen, or sitting curled up. It looks like the leg colors have came back with a nice solid darker contrast to the carapace. I wish she'd walk into the light, but it seems I've provided to good of a hide! Judging from past behavior if she's hungry, she'll wait at the entrance, or actively search at night. I plan on power feeding off and on throughout the year, to try and speed things up. In 2015 I wasn't able to feed her weekly, because the nearest pet store was 60 miles away, and I had other health issues getting in the way, which forced me to give away my bearded dragon. Whenever I saw the inside of the couple's house that were taking in my beardie, they had a whole living room converted to house 50 or so dragons! I only have enough room for a G. Pulchripes and that's about it. Seeing how they kept the dragons inspired me to take charge in the care of my spider, no matter the state of my mental or physical health, plus they offer feeders at a huge discount and I don't have to find wild caught insects anymore, On my own I managed to feed her a few times a month, usually on a diet of wild caught camel crickets. I just feel it wasn't nearly enough if I were serious about keeping a pet T again. Anyhow! When I see her attacking prey items again I'll feel relaxed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
