I have a juvenile B. albopilosum, at least 2.5 inches, probably closer to 3 inches. Calling it "she" but as yet unsexed. She molted about 2 weeks ago, so she is not premolt. She is normally a good eater. Her first meal after molting she took fine, and they were medium sized crickets. 2 days ago I dropped two large crickets in. It was the first time I offered large, but she is plenty big enough to handle them. They were also the smallest of the "large" I had, definitely not beasts by any stretch. Today I found them deposited on the farthest corner away from her burrow, both deposited together there. One looked like it may have been sucked on for a while, the other was very intact, though very dead and mushy looking. Why do you think she killed them but didn't eat them? Was she not hungry but needed to defend her turf, or do you think she was unhappy about the switch to larger prey? TIA for any insight.
