B. Albo has a very big abdomen.

A tarantula can definitely survive a month without food, however there isn't really a set time to not feed it. Just keep an eye on it and don't feed until it's abdomen has gone down a bit, if that takes a month it will be fine. I only feed my slings every 2 weeks, and I've had some I've skipped a feeding with because they were fat, so I've had numerous ones go at least a month without food.

Thanks for the tip! I think I need to trim down feeding my slings. btw I read in other websites that if you feed a sling more often it will grow quickly? is that true?

Very true. Same goes for any living thing.
