im afraid mt versi hasent ate
not too long ago, i got a few new slings,, an a. versi, a OBT, and a malasian blue.
the blue is eating,, the OBT is charging out of the web, grabing the dubia and disapearing with it,, but the versi,, im not so sure. it stays on top of the corkbark all the time, it has made no webs, and as far as i can tell, hasent ate.
ill usually take a small/ baby dubia, kinda crush/ immobylise a part of it, and put it on its back to make easy prey. its been 4 hours or so (dubias legs still kicking) and the versi is just standing beside it.. this is how iv fed it in the past, and found dead dubias on the fauna,, but i dont know if the versi's eating or not..
any tips??
thanks

Re: im afraid mt versi hasent ate
im not sure when the last time that it molted. it has never molted for me, but iv only had them for 3 or 4 weeks. i checked it this morning, and the dubia has regained mobility and is walking around. i offered a tiny tiny mealworm before i left for work this morning so ill check on it @ lunch... i hate crickets and was hoping to get away from them, but i might need to try.
thanks for the reply

thanks! DANG,, how long does the whole "molt process" last? this being the first T's that iv had,,, im just not sure what to expect. LOL i was told more than once that the OBT and the MBF were fast movers,,, but i wasent expecting that fast eigther:O. oh also, it seems that the versi is a little darker than before. is this a sign of pre molt? or just the lighting in my room???
