Don't need to be flamed just need help
I realize this is not the species I should have gotten as my first T. With that being said I can say this. I have followed instructions down to the T about caring for her. Cage is always at 78 degrees and humidity above 70%
Anyway I'm worried about her... When I first got her for about the first 2 weeks she was pretty active ( coming out at night wandering around) but now she has pretty much set up shop inside her hide, the only reason I know she is alive most days is because she is in a different position in her hide.
Now is this normal for her?
I am some what worried because she used to be so active and aggressive (Stridulation, when I poke around and very defensive) and a voracious eater. Now heres where I noticed a difference. I fed her a small mouse after she consumed it I noticed her abdomen is about 1.5 times or larger than her carapace, so I havent wanted to feed her more. Since then she has become super lethargic, never leaving her hide. This started about 3 weeks ago. I figured maybe she was going into molt but now im not sure. Am i doing something wrong or is this the temperament of this species? Im worried to keep feeding her because i dont want problems to come up when she molts? Is this normal? should I keep feeding? What do i DO?
