does this sling look close to molt?

I am actually surprised by all the "stop feeding it" comments. Since I started this hobby I feed my T's as often as they want to eat. So I offer food or test for a feeding response every second or third day and if I get a feeding response I feed. Some of my slings have been this fat and even more fat with no problems at all.

I am not saying anyone is wrong or right, maybe I have just been lucky all these years....:watchingyou:
With any other species, save for H.chilensis I would say feed it till it stops eating. But this is B.albiceps...which is know for looooooong fasts even as slings. If you enjoy feeding slings, you may want to draw that out so you don't have as long to look at a fat sling which isn't eating.
To each his own I guess, but I rather feed less now while it is still eating than let it gorge itself until it stops and goes on a 3 or 4 month fast. ;)
