Molting Again!!

[tanalos]

My H. Lividum Thorn is molting again for the 2nd time in 3 months. This is the fastest I've seen a T molt even for the younger ones. Is this common in Lividums or am I just an over concerned parent?

I've kept plenty of Ts over the years but this is my first Lividum.

Depends on how small they are and molter faster and slower as they gain age and size.

My A. brocklehursti just molted last night and is named "The Tick" because it was literally as small as one when we got him. He's now about 1.5-2" (he's all shy and recovering so don't know exact yet) in about 7 months

size, temps, feeding, all could lead to a moult in less than 3 mos. i haven't kept Haplos, but i do have slings from even Grammostola that i've gotten a moult from almost monthly so far.

so i think it definitely could be normal given the lack of extra info, especially since you said it was "younger".

Molting Again

I keep Thorn pretty well fed and comfy.
- 1-2 crickets a week
- average temp 85 degrees with regular misting
- little to no stressor type events just a plump little spider
- Close to 3.5" currently
