So I've had my little Damon diadema Benji for quite a while now and he molted twice since I got him, and every time shortly before the molt he'd get fat. I took a look at him today and my god he's a real fat ass now hahah.
A little background, he shares his enclosure with his food - isopods (Porcellio scaber) - so he eats as much as he wants and whenever he wants. I saw him having multiple snacks the last few days, and now he's the fattest he's ever been. I'd be surprised if he isn't going to molt soon :d My guess is he eats as much as possible first, then nothing shortly before molt, and then he molts.
I am also still not entirely sure if Benji is actually a he or a she, he's still a little small to tell but I might know more after his next molt. I'm pretty excited about it to be honest, he's grown quite a bit since I got him and last time he "grew a thumb" and it looks like he got little hands. I love tailless whips.
