Longest wait after molt

[Aracnoenthusiast]

What's the longest you have had a t wait after molting before it accepted food? Not before you offered, but how long until it actually took prey?

Depends on age. I guess my longest would be my mature female P. cancerous waited 3 weeks before she ate again. I'm sure keepers who have hundreds (Casey Ilovebrachys, arachnoclown to name a few) would have Ts with the longest lag-feed times.

3 months on an AF A genic was my longest. typically it is the older fully grown adults that take longer and although 7 days is my normal timeframe, I usually leave the adults for a couple of weeks.

Sucking stomach-- very rare. If she is eating, you are in the clear.
