Hey guys I just got two new slings about 1" each. A king baboon and OBT. Not sure on sex yet. these are my first slings. I know the King is a slow grower. I was wondering how often should these guys molt while their this small.
thanks

Depends on temps and how often you feed. Could easily take months.

About 75 degrees. 1/2 inch crickets about every 3 to 4 day. The OBT eats like a pig but the king will prob only once a week

First of all, congrats on your new acquisitions!

No one can really tell how often it's going to molt, because it depends on a lot of things.
All I can tell you, even if I don't own any of these 2 species, it's that it will take A LOT of time for the P.Muticus to grow, it takes about 10 years before reaching their maturity.
I think the OBTs are fast growers, it will take them about 1-2 years to reach maturity.

Hope this helped.
