How does an eaten meal worm look like?

[Dracarys]

Does anyone have a photo of an eaten meal worm? My T sling has not eaten for 2 weeks now (last fed by seller) & I am not sure if it ate the pre-killed meal worm I put in because i find the worm in the same position the next day or two & I can't tell if it's been eaten because it looked the same, except darker.

I dont have any pictures, but when my t eats a worm it usually makes a ball with the leftovers. Depending on the size of the meal compared to the t it is possible for it to have fed without any real visible signs. One final note as well, 2 weeks isn't really that long for a t to not eat. I've had slings go months. As long as the abdomen looks good there's not much need to worry. Hope this helps!

If it’s eaten, it comes out white.

It is not touched. Spider cannot eat a worm without moving it. To eat it, spider have to bite then find a place safe enough to eat.

pic of my lp sling when it was rice grain sized the chunk of meal worm about same size as it (worm looked same size after it ate)

The bolus left from a mealworm will be tiny rust coloured ball, very easy to miss amongst substrate unless you have the eyes of a hawk

Update:
Vanya, my Sg Blue sling has finally eaten for the first time under my care. So, here's the remains of the mealworm.

My 1” emperor ate a decent sized mealworm the other day and there was nothing left. Took him all day too.

Er...when mine eat, there's almost always like...a husk of the worm left? Like the exoskeleton? They're definitely eating them. Should I be concerned?
