Hello everyone.

Well... as the topic states, I would like to know how long a 3rd instar sling (in this particular case - P. fasciata and GBB) can go without food post molt?

I'm by no means new to T keeping, but I will be away for three weeks and am wondering if it may be too long and I cannot get anyone to feed them for me. This situation is a first for me.

Thanks.

I’m currently in China on Business and would like to know the answer to the question as well. In my case I’m away for 2 weeks and 2 of my Ts have molded in this period. Lucky I have a friend that helps me.
I know of the T hotel, but what is the rule wrt leaving your Ts on their own
(more so Slings)

Yes please i would also like to hear opinions regarding the topic....We are 250 Km away from the T hotel so it is not a viable option for us and the majority of our friends suffer from arachnophobia!!!we will be away for 2 weeks so i am trying to feed them every second night so by holiday time they would have had 4 to 5 pinheads each? will this be sufficient?

in my opinion and i stand to be corrected but slings will be fine without food for awhile, it is just the situation that we are in summer so the chances of slings suffering from dehydration is a strong possibility. they need some access to moisture. that is the tricky part. if the soil is too moist then there is the chance of fungus growth.

any other opinions or experience?
