Hi! I’m new here and new to tarantula keeping. I got a common pink toe about 3 months ago and it has definitely been a learning experience. I had always wanted a tarantula ever since I was about 13 and now finally I got one! I went to a reptile convention and saw the little pink toe and thought she was so cute. I’ve spent hours researching and watching videos on many tarantula species including my own. I think I got it down how to properly care for mine. However, I am always open to any advice to be a better owner and I do have a couple questions. As I said before, I've had my tarantula for almost 3 months now and she has yet to molt. I got her as a juvenile, I’m guessing. I’m still kind of unsure of age terms. My profile picture is the first day I got her. So I’m wondering, is it normal she hasn’t molted yet? She’s grown quite a bit, but I haven’t seen a molt. Maybe I’m impatient and she’s working on it. Any answers or advice or just knowledge in general about the species is appreciated!
***Edit:
Thank you all so much for your help! I’m afraid had I not come here for some answers and advice, things would have ended badly for my poor spider. I now know if I ever decide to get another tarantula, I absolutely must research more reliable sources beforehand. I feel terrible for not taking care of her as properly as I should have been but I was very misinformed. Now I know what to do to have a healthy spider. I’m still open to any advice or discussion and thank you all again so much for the help
