Message: <blockquote data-quote="I just need all the T's" data-source="post: 217918" data-attributes="member: 39012">Here is my current to date experience with raising from a sling a T.Vagan who has always been a good water. It molted June 1st of this year. Perfect molt absolutely beautiful spider.I waited 15 days before feeding still was a little. Since then I've fed more frequently but nothing huge just increase on feeding.Well she it whatever got plump last week it refused to eat and I actually had cut back a whole week prior because of who big her abdomen was. Yesterday I was checking on it and was blown away at the size of her abdomen that's when I noticed it had molted.My whole point is,I feel like it would looked in way better shape had I not been feeding it imo what is more heavy than I should and had her so plump.So 10 15 days from now when I feel she's totally hardened up I'm going back to a less frequent cycle if that makes sense. I'm sure there some huge various other things different in regards to adults or sub adults and serious breeders I'm more specifically talking about slings and keeping healthy spiders in general for most keepers or new to it.Just my 05 cents worth of what I've felt I've learned so far. Definitely feels like there is alot to be thought about of everything the op has stated.</blockquote>
