My 4" rosie molted mon, mar 9th, now the last time she molted, she was a 3.75" spider, and she took food 10 days after molting. Im wondering when I should be trying to feed her as she's slightly bigger now.
Also, unless I get her to climb the glass, I have no way of checking her fangs to see if they've darkened yet, and I just know she'll be really sensitive and am hesitant to disturb her for risk of injury to the T. The last thing I need is her getting spooked and leaping to her doom. I also dont want her to turn mean on me from being handled too soon after molting.
What's the time range for a spider this size to be "ready", tomorrow it will be nearly a week, but as I dont know the state of the fangs, I'm not wanting to risk damaging them from a too early feeding attempt, or damage from handling too soon (and possible bad temper too)
