When to feed 2i?

[that1ocelot]

Hey there folks.

My tityus Stigmurus molted to 2i last night. When should I feed them? I noticed they molted in a different fashion, so I'm thinking the usual rules don't apply.

Unfortunately they fell off the mother a couple days ago, and molted independent of her.

When their normal coloration returns usually 7-10 days maybe sooner, the best method is offer them dead feeders. If they have not fully sclerotized and can not be safely offered live prey, they will not have full use of their mobility and will be very apprehensive to any disturbance with awkward retreats from suspected threats. Also, if you have a blacklight if they florescence normally under it they should be ready to eat.

This is exactly what I needed, thank you so much!
