From what little I can find about this species, they grow very very slowly, one of the slowest growing spiders.

I got one of these about a month ago. I would have assumed she would have molted by now. Thing is I can't find almost any information about these guys online. Barely can find a picture of them.

Does anyone know how often they molt at this size and what behaviour I should be looking out for?
I have a Gandanameno spenceri (eresidae sp. aswell) and they're fairly similar in growth where they molt around every 1-2 months when they're really small and it goes to every 4-6 months when they're bigger
Mine is currently around 3 years old and it molted last July and is in premolt right now
They live between 3-6 years depending on the sex
