Well today I noticed my supposedly "mature" T.blondi with a huge black spot on her abdomen. It explains the not eating..

Anyways i'm thinking what's a good way to plump her up after a molt? I'm a bit squeamish about mice so I toss in a anole or since my father works at a expensive restaurant and he sometimes brings me filet mignon. My T blondi loves it ,low fat and high meat.
I just use it so she gets plumpy on me since its just part of an animal its not her complete diet :p.
Then I buy some hissers then feed those to her as a staple.

Hopefully the molt doesn't have problems the humidity as high as I can get it and around 86F.

Good Luck on the moult, one thing that is bad is the complications that T.blondi's go through do my best of wishes, and keep us updated!

being mature doesn't stop molting...

Once a female T is mature it still molts just not as often and they don't gain size once they're maxed out. That being said just keep the humidity up and you should be fine.
