Haha Damon nice :p and thank you Sir.
Louie, there she is!!!
LP...If you are feeding crickets, I would give her (I call them her when I don't know the sex. Wishful thinking) 1, once a week. The size should be about the same size as her abdomen. LPs are eating machines and will eat and eat and eat. I don't like "power feeding" them. They will get size quick enough. You can hold off a week for her to settle in and she will be fine.
The G. rosea... I would skip another week or two and try to feed again. Do this every 2 weeks. If she doesn't eat, take the prey item out after 24 hours. She looked nice and plump and you have no worries if she doesnt eat. They can go months and months. Just make sure she has water and she will be good to go. At that size, it will take longer to settle in. We talked about it before but let that substrate dry out and don't mess with her much. I wouldn't have any worry until you saw her abdomen shrinking in size.
I also keep all my Ts in a heated room with the humidity up some. Normal room temps will be fine 73-75. General rule is, if you can sit and be comfortable in a tshirt and shorts, your T will be comfortable. With the LPs (including her) I would spray about half the cup once a week. Let it dry out between sprays. I wouldn't soak it down, just make half of it damp. She also had a bottle cap for water. You dont have to fill the cap all the way. Just enough so she can get a drink every couple of days.
Enjoy her!!
Thanks again
