Greetings - welcome to the hobby! I'm new too actually. In my experience so far, there will at least two sides to every answer you're going to get so it seems like it's up to most of us just to make the executive decision on what works for us...so helpful/kinda not helpful lol I've been listening to what others are doing and then testing out various methods to come up with a way that works for me.
1. My maintenance days are Wed and Sun. This is feeding for slings, cleaning bolus for everyone and topping off water dishes if needed. I do it at whatever time is best for me - this is usually in the evenings b/c in the morning I'm getting ready for work or whatever. But, on some Sundays if I'm going to have a busy day I do it in the AM and it's fine!
2. I mostly apply this to pre-killed prey because you don't want to have it festering in their enclosure. I fed my T. albo a few small crickets once and thought he got them all - well, then I saw one just hopping around one day! It's so small though that he'll be fine. I'm feeding more frequent, smaller meals so I can get more practice. (4 crickets/wk vs. 1 dubia) If it's pre-killed though and they don't eat it, do take it out in 24 hrs.
3. Are you using tongs?
