So I have attempted to feed her and I've left both mealworms and crickets in there overnight. But every time I've had to remove the prey next morning, so this time I sat down and watched her for close to an hour.
She looks as if she's interested, she will approach the cricket and then lunge at it, she even chased it around. But every time she struck at it she didn't actually bite. Is she unable to catch it, or is she just annoyed at it and try to scare it off? I don't think her fangs extend when she lunges at it, but then again the "attacks" are too fast for me to really catch what's going on.
I thought maybe she had some problems with extending her fangs, but I later caught her grooming her legs, and I could clearly see her fangs extending.
I'm starting to get concerned as she's gone without food for a month solid now, and her abdomen looks slimmer than I remembered.
I know when they're fasting they can go months without eating. But I can't really tell if she's fasting or not, as I said before she appears to be interested in eating.
She's not in pre-molt by the way, she already had a bald spot from when I first laid eyes on her in the pet store, but it's still orange.
