Default Bigger?
I swear my H.Lividum looks bigger than when I got him last week. Not sure if it's just because I've seen more of my teeny avic sling in the few days I've had it, but really, I'm sure he wasn't that big! Can't see any sign of a molt but then he did eat 3 crickets in 3 days!

Me too, my T. blondi is such a greedy feeder it's really fun watching her eat. But she came right out of her hide the other day and I noticed how big her butt was, so she's now on starvation rations for a month.

I wasn't sure when he'd last been fed so thought I'd offer him some and when they stopped disappearing, stop feeding. After 3 though I though I'd better stop anyway.

Thing is, it's not so much his butt, is all of him, his legs were what made me go he just looks bigger overall... I've read that some Ts eat their molts, is there any chance that's what happened??

no, he wouldn't moult and then be out and about the next day as if nothing had happened.

Even at that size, he'd lie low for a week or so after a moult.
