Im putting this here because its not really a question morely a YaY my H. villosella molted.. And so did my C. andersoni and boy did the C. andersoni get some size from its dinky little self.. Cant get pictures they are both webbed in their holes right now..

But I do have a question about the H. villosella.. Is it normal that they are fast growers? I have had this one since 10-15-09 it has molted 3 times since then..

Dates are
10-27-09 (11 days after I recieved it.)
11-16-09 (19 days)
12-1-09 (14 days)

Not really growing much in size just molting more often than any of my other slings..

majority of .5"-1" slings will molt once a month. Males tend to molt closer to the 3-4 week range than the females. If it's a small sling, molting once a month, but not growing much, I'd say you have a female on your hands. IMO though.

Yay, molts!

I'm interested in seeing if it DOES end up being a female, like hellraizor thinks based on the molt schedule.

Oh, and can you tell my H. mac that lil slings are supposed to molt frequently, please? lol
