He loves his plant xD

I had to clean out his enclosure due to his poops all over the walls. I added 2 plants to make his enclosure look more "alive" and he decides to climb the bush.

He eats alot tbh. I stopped feeding him a week ago. And will probably wait another month or like you suggested a molt! I used to feed him 2-3 times a week. Thats probs how he got fat.

Thank you xD I'm going to have to stop feeding him for about a month or maybe 2

Thats what I would do, and 3 times a week might be a little too much in my opinion, especially depending on how big they prey you are feeding, idk. For me I feed only 1-2 times a week for slings. I mean i dont feed anything 3 times a week.

I feed him small meal worms. I used to feed him once a week but people said I basically starved my T so I started about 2-3 times a week.

The abdomen doesn't need to be larger than the carapace.

Yeah "people" on here.

well dont listen to those people, 3 times a week is way too much, there is absoluely no reason to feed a sling 3 times a week. They have extremely slow metabolisms. Youre not starving your T by feeding once a week.

Noted.

"People" need to get the idea of a set feeding schedule out of their minds. T's are not mammals and don't need a set amount of food daily, weekly, monthly, or whatever turns you on.

A plump T is a happy, well-fed T. Feed with your eyes and not the calendar.

So what your saying is my T is fine? Mine plump. I don't use calenders.. I guess everyone has a different opinion on how to feed, take care etc.

second this!

Make sure you chop the eyes up tho. They don't need to eat a full eye at this size.

Maybe. I'd be curious if there is any evidence of harm with overfeeding slings. Your T is most definitely overfed!
