Phidippus regius molting too often?

[Nicolas Rei]

Hi! I got my little guy in early September. Since then it has molted 4 times (every two weeks) and has more than doubled in size. Is that normal? He seems happy and healthy, so I'm not too concerned. Perhaps I'm feeding him too much? Was feeding him once a day, and he happily took the prey.

Two photos for comparison. First one taken early September, and 2nd one taken today.

That's not too fast if they're at earlier development stages. Other things will influence development rate such as feedings, temperature, and genetics

Ah OK, good to know, thanks for the reply!
