How long ?

[pokiecollector]

How long do you usually wait to feed your spider's after they molt ?

1 week
5 days if they are slings,

I personally wait a few days to a week for spiderlings and 1-2 weeks for adults.

I have a little "test" that I do to see if they are ready (mainly for juveniles and up). Dribble some water in front of them (I use a syringe). If they attack the water, then they are typically ready. If they run from it or ignore it, they probably aren't ready.

When their fangs turn black. I have never had a T turn down food after the fangs have darkened.

I also wait for the black fangs. If the T is arboreal, try to check it out on the walls. if not, give it @ 5 days. in burrowers, when it comes out and looks like it is hunting anyways, it probably is ready for another feeding. be careful not to over- or powerfeed your T's.

I usually give my T's about a week before I feed them again.
