How soon can a Tarantula molt again after molting?

[ShadowLycan]

My Ho Chi Minh DCF just flipped on its back and appears to be molting.
This is the catcher tho. It just molted 17 days ago
What gives?

It varies by a lot of stuff, how you keep the T, temps, how much it eats, growth rate etc.

Ornithoctoninae spp. have fast growth rate

What size or age is the spider? 17 days is quick. It’s possible that something went wrong in the last molt and it’s fixing itself. Did you notice anything?

It's small, maybe an inch.

No, nothing. It's been active, but not really interested in food

I'm might be very wrong but that doesn't look like a molt to me.

UPDATE!!! Just came in from work and the spider is walking around like nothing ever happened.
It didn't molt, but, it seems healthy

It was practicing!

I don't have experience with this species, but generally speaking, smaller tarantulas will molt more frequently than larger ones.

Or it fell.

They look like their molting when they fall.

For the record, age can help determine if molting is more frequent or not. Depending on species, an old tarantula will take longer to molt.

A sling can molt often quick.

If a mature adult got a wound, they could molt quicker then usual.

Under certain conditions, it is very possible.

After all the drama from yesterday, today it's eaten and is very active. All I did was must the enclosure and up the humidity
