I have learned a lot over the years reading threads on this site, but this is my first post. Thank you for all that I have learned to date!
Someone gave me a 12 year old G. Rosea years ago, that we kept until she died. And then we got a B Hamori that is the subject of the post, so I suppose I am an experienced beginner.
She is about 5 years old (had her since she was 1) and measures about 5". Her last molt occurred about 7 months after the one before it. It has been just over 4 months since her last molt and lately she seems uninterested in eating, which leads me to wonder if she might be getting ready to molt. I understand that molts generally happen further apart as they mature, but do they ever molt earlier than in a previous cycle, or do the molts almost always happen further apart? Would it be unusual for her to molt at 5 or 6 months?
I realize that she could be uninterested in eating for many reasons, and that things like humidity can affect molting, but I would love to know how unusual it is for a T such as this to have a shorter molt along the continuum of generally longer ones.
Thanks in advance for any info. you can provide!
