So guys got my T. blondi (adult female) and am just letting it get settled in soon but it will be time for an attempt at feeding soon

I have been feeding all my Ts so far 1 cricket/locust a week and due to the size of this beast it must need more than that?

not necessarily. There would be nothing wrong with feeding it twice a week, if you think she needs it. If she's not hungry, she won't eat it.

My T. strimi eats about 4 roaches and 6 large crickets a week. I remove any prey that is not eaten within 12 hours from any of my T's or pedes enclosures and well I never have to remove anything from hers LOL!

I would feed 2 adult dubia per week. Watch the abdomen size and use common sense. I typically feed more heavily after a molt then take it easy after a couple weeks. I recommend a maintenance feeding one proper abdomen size is reached.
