Ok, I apologize. I just signed up yesterday on here and this is my first tarantula. I’m new to this. This last molt, pictured, is approximately 3 1/4 inches. I got her at about 1.5 inches back in February 2019 and she has molted 5 times since then. She has the option to be warmer or colder in her enclosure and she stays on the warmer side and eats a lot! Thanks for the advice and help.
When you say 'warmer' side, I hope that you don't have a heat pad or light on. Do you? They will always gravitate to the heat source and that, more often than not, results in dehydration and dead spiders.

No, I keep her enclosure on top of my rainbow boa tank and one side of her enclosure is closer to a light fixture and makes it a couple degrees warmer than the other side. She also has plenty of water and seems very healthy. It doesn’t get very warm. I know they don’t need to have heat pads, lights, etc. I just keep her there because my house stays around 70 degrees and she seems to do better near the warmer area on top of the snake cage.
