Very very very fat H. Formosus Colombius (Groot) sling

[froggirl]

Hi,

I have no clue what instar this little one is, but they’re very very fat and even though I’ve read you can’t overfeed a sling, I’m scared to feed more. It’s one of my favorites so I want to make sure it’s fine.
I’ve been feeding it twice a week and the last time it molted was 24/04.

Thanks in advance!

It has enough to molt. I’d just provide water at this point.

Stop feeding

Don’t feed it anything else! Its booty is massive, so just make sure they have water! It’s gonna molt soon

It’s been very busy webbing up the enclosure so fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed it turns out to be female. Beautiful tarantula.

don’t worry about cutting food. Its not going to hurt it. It has all it needs. Just maintain moisture and water.

We can only use our fantasies and knowledge, to influence our theories. Suuuper fat and taking forever to molt.
