You can't judge molts by time. It depends on a lot of things like heat, genetics, food, etc...

I wondered the same thing? You see, as Tarantula's get older, they take longer inbetween each molt. Like, my auratum has molted 2 times in my care. It was 1/2, now about 2". All in 2 molts. In between those 2 molts, it took about 2-3 months. She did about 2 months ago. So, she should molt in about 3 more months? Its totally normal. Each molt, longer time period.
