[QUOTE="Lady Lilith, post: 41958, member: 3365"] Hello. I also am the proud guardian of an LP. He is now about 5 - 6 inches DLS and worries me to death every time he comes on a molt. Before now, he would lose all his hair, swell up like a ballon about to pop, go all black and bald in the abdomen, and not eat only a few days before he molted. NOW, though, he does not lose hair, or swell up, or go all black or anything. He just stops eating. FOR LIKE TWO MONTHS :( And, now that he molted two weeks ago, he STILL has not eaten. It is driving me to distraction worrying if something is wrong. There are two forms of food items I offer, Dubias and crickets, and he has refused both. I imagine he will eat when he is hungry, at least I hope so. Anyway, glad yours finally has :) [/QUOTE]
