Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bast" data-source="post: 11834" data-attributes="member: 379"><p>Two crickets a day is too much, imo.  I agree that your T is probably full and/or in pre-moult.  I only feed my T's 1-2 crickets per week (the slings get fed 1 cricket twice a week), and they are all extremely healthy.  Also 2 months really isn't that long for a T to go without food, many species will go much longer than that and drive their keepers crazy lol.   They will eat when they are hungry, so as long as his abdomen isn't shriveled or shrunken looking he's probably fine.  Also you mention it is a 'he', is there any way he could be a mature male?  Mature males tend to only have breeding on their minds and typically do not eat as much as females or non-mature males.</p></blockquote><p></p>
