Is This A Good Abdomen Size?

My 4 or so inch matured male T. albopilosus ate about 4 days ago, after refusing a cricket 10 days ago. His abdomen looks good, (about 1 inch) not shriveled, just wondering since I've seen others with REALLY big abdomens.

I only feed my MMs every 1-2months. Many times they have gone longer without food.

MMs have small abdomens, its normal and not a concern....no amount of feeding will change this, and frankly, MMs dont eat all that often anyway.

Just because you see huge inflated abdomens that doesn’t mean that’s what you should shoot for, most I see I overly plump than what is ever actually needed, MM or not.

I try and feed mature males every 2 months or so and keep the water dish full at all times, they are naturally skinnier.
