I have 3 Blepharopsis mendies (Thistle) which began to get finicky about eating after their last moult to sub-adult . They had eaten all that I gave them  Hydei ,  m.worms , beetles and crickets . Now not eating and their claws are getting black . Thought they might not require flying feeders (I don't want the hassle).   Tried hand feeding without god results, anyone else have this challenge ? ...........  S

 
The greenie is a female (eating) tan is male (not eating )

Yeah I’m in the same boat... presub/sub female B. Mendica not eating... her claws are turning black along with part of her mouth. She will catch a fly, kill it by taking 1-2 bites, then she drops it. 

Hopefully someone knows why?
