She is now just a bit over 6 inches from front left to back right. Feeding isn't the issue, they always get food.
Here is a cut and paste of what I mentioned about her feeding routine since her last molt:
"Her last molt was on July 20th of 2008. After her molt I logged when she ate. On the 28th I fed her a nighcrawler, on the 29th a discoid nymph. Then on the first of August she ate a small anole, then a week later on the 7th or 8th of August she ate a handful of crickets like a beast. Then on the 15th of August she ate one more nightcrawler, then on the 21st of August she ate a 1 day old pre-killed f/t quail (the anole and quail are essentially the only vertebrates she has ever received. I do it VERY seldom and just wanted to plump her up).
After this relative power feeding month, I decided to leave her be and feed her a lot less.
However, she had started denying food a bit after, and since August 21st, she has maybe eaten 5-10 crickets..."
So as you can see, feeding isn't an issue. As for molting, it was my understanding that that was a normal rate for an LP of this size. I also keep my apt pretty darn cool.
