Andy/Anastasia quit eating?

[tapkoote]

The first part of January Ana molted into Andy. Once he got situated he ate like a pig.
He must of had 15 crickets in 3-4 weeks. Ate two one night and stopped, about 3 weeks ago. Could he be ready to molt again? Now I'm thinking males live shorter life spans if food is readily avialable. Doesn't bother me, he should grow as fast as he wants.

can't tell there but if he's hooked out they usually stop eating and focus on looking for a mate. My B. albo just hooked out in his molt a couple weeks ago. He refuses to eat now. Last night i had the pleasure of being woken up every few hours from him tapping on the enclosure wall.

He hasn't been very photogenic lately. Will I be able to spot the hooks. His pedipals look slightly larger, but not boxing gloves.

Don't see any hooks..but he's pretty healthy looking, I wouldnt worry about him not eating unless his abdomen was really small.

agree with @MassExodus i don't see any hooks and the palps are still pointed. if it's male it's not matured.

One more question, will his pedipal look like this at final molt?

 

[MassExodus]

Yup.

Looks like a club queen after a few too many kamikaze's

 

[MassExodus]

Look how the mouth is all redish pink. Don't you just wanna stick your tounge in there?

..oh, just me huh? Whateva..

 

[tapkoote]

You're right: not mature yet.
