Should I make a vet visit?

oh i totally agree,it's just i've never met this vet before and i dont want to come across as some cheap bum who wants peace of mind from a phone call. If I knew him it would be a totally different situation.

My spider's belly will feel softer or mushier after feeding. Usually once they poop they are toned again. Thats been my experience.

I understand. Just let the vet know that you're not some cheap guy; just three hours away! Explain everything really clearly and have an accurate weight, last fed, last poo'd, etc; all the records close by so you won't be wasting his time on the phone. I have found that the more clearly I communicate symptoms and history, the easier it is for the vet to determine if an office visit is warranted. A good vet will never mind a conscientious owner!!
