She molted 2 weeks back, and yesterday she was back to her b*tchy self, rearing up as I tried to clean her water dish. So, I figured I'd treat her to a fat post-molt feast, and offered a super worm. You'd think I released a thousand hounds on her, because fangs were bared, and hairs were flying. Clearly, she did not care for this change in menu. I removed the worm (not without a few strikes to the tongs), and will try again in a few days with an old-time-favorite dubia. FWIW, she did have a cricket I found wondering in the kitchen sink yesterday (you know it's happened to you; don't lie), and destroyed that thing within minutes, so I know she's ready to go back on a feeding schedule.</p></blockquote><p></p>
