curly hair moult

[Malti]

so my curly just moulted :clap: ...how long should I wait before I offer her food? (dunno what moult she's under 5cm I'm guessing)

Did she did tunnels? My little B. albos have both created a crazy tunnel system in their enclosure and when they are going to molt then they just seal themselves up underground and do their thing. When they were ready to eat again they would just dig back out :lol: !

If yours did not do this then I would probably wait around a week or longer. This is a very delicate time for a T so don't try and rush her into eating.

 

[Malti]

no tunnels atm, will give her a week or two, let the bean weavils hatch

 

[Malti]

think she's moulting again soon...

mmm got a question: What do T droppings look like?

 

[mantidsaresweet]

Haha not sure but sometimes it's smeared on the sides but never seen it on the ground.

One of my curly hairs is about to molt too!

 

[Malti]

is it like some whiteish stuff? I was thinking its cricket guts heh

think i miscalculated the moult, she's still munching beanweavils..

 

[dragon]

is it like some whiteish stuff?

Yep.

Typically wait one to two weeks after the molt has occurred before offering prey. Do make sure to have water available though.

she took a couple of weavils after 3 days...is that bad? and she has some bug water and misting for drinking

Nope. If she ate then she was ready.
