    Is this possible?

    Is it possible for a B. smithi s'ling (3-4cm LS) to eat a cricket completley and hide the remains in the time between 10pm-6:30am?

    It's abdomen does seem bigger but the cricket could of burrowed

    The sling could have eaten part and buried part. They do that sometimes.
    Lina: Oh, Donny, you couldn't kiss me like that and not mean it just a teensy bit.
    Don: Meet the best actor in the world! I'd rather kiss a tarantula!
    Lina: You don't mean that.
    Don: I don't - Hey, Joe, get me a tarantula!!!!!!

    I would say yes but I am just hypothesizing... considering my 4 inch N. chromatus can put away an adult cricket in minutes I think it would be possible...

    I'd say yes it's possible; plenty of time between 10pm-6:30am to do whatever it wanted to do with it. Like Mina already mentioned, it could have buried half and ate half.

    I think it's possible. A hungry T, even a smaller B. Smithi can "Put away the Bacon". I have an adult B. Vagans who has been a ravenous eater since
    it was 1 1/2" long.
