[QUOTE="SikmT7, post: 160881, member: 10145"] Thank you so much for the info my dude! I hear you on that, I have been a keeper for over 11 years and yes I agree that it extends their life to not "power feed" them. I have an A moderatum that I feed once every 2-3 weeks and she will only eat 2 crickets at a time, then she shuts herself in her hide for 2 months, molts, and then reappears lol. I know boehmi like it on the dry side as I keep her water dish overflowed at all times and lightly mist the corner of her enclosure once in a while, if the substrate is too wet she tries to climb on the sides of the enclosure. I have 4 Brachypelmas; hamorii, boehmi, albopilosum, verdezi, and they all have voracious appetites, but my boehmi is picky lol. That is the challenge I love about T keeping, every genus and species has their eating habits, personalities, husbandry needs, differing from one another, I have learned quite a bit and still have much to learn :) I am going to give my boehmi a Madagascar hissing roach and see if she is just be finicky, this one may have expensive taste :D. Thank you Kenny you're very helpful here in the forum I appreciate you! [/QUOTE]
