I just noticed today the my gbb molted. I removed the cricket that i gave him yesterday. How long should i wait to feed him again?

Once the fangs are completely black again. Couple of days if its a sling, maybe a week if its a juvie and ul to two weeks if its a full grown adult.

How big is the tarantula?

You want to wait until the fangs turn black. Immediately after the molt, the fangs are soft and white. They redden and gradually darken to a ruddy brown before turning black.

The larger the tarantula, the longer it takes for this process to complete. If it's a tiny sling, 5-7 days is enough. For large adults, you might need to wait two or more weeks.

He should be ready to eat 5-7 days from now. (Keep the water dish full until then.)

My adult female GBB took 9 days from molt to feeding. Your milage may vary.
