Hi
I have a B.smithi about 1.25" It moulted on 14 April.
It dosent seem to want/be able to eat. Everytime I feed it I will find the cricket dead but uneaten. I noticed that it did pounce on the cricket when I first started to feed it after It's moult, but now it just keeps avoiding the food.
I dont think its eaten anything since its moult and its abdomen looks quite small. I have tried various sizes of food items.
I seem to remember a thread about this and I think it was about the stomach not being shed correctly(I think). Does anybody know anything about this?
Or is there another reason for this behaviour.
I will try mealworms next week to see if it will eat one, but for now I dont know whats going on.
