Thanks yall! You can't tell from the second picture because it's through the plastic, but he's got a little bit of pattern on his abdomen.. so cute!

 

[BigToach]

wow! i had no idea H. maculata was known for long periods between molts. i got a 1/4 inch sling about 5 months ago and has molted 3 times and is in premolt rite now. my sling is a super feeder, loves lateralis.

 

[Mvskokee]

6 months! I had mine for like 3 days and it molted. Its molted twice since i have had it. Thats nuts

I just got a .5" H. mac sling a week ago. I hope it doesn't take that long for him to molt, lol.
I'm getting conflicting info on how fast they grow. Does it just depend?

Mine went from .5 - 2.5 in 4 months.

Probably has alot to do with how hot your Ts are kept

 

[Steve Calceatum]

My room is kept at about 80 degrees these days, and my 5" H. mac sling has molted once in the almost five months I've had him. These things take some serious time to grow.

I keep my Ts around 85-90 degrees. Is that too warm?

 

[Teal]

Previously, I kept this guy at room temperature (which round here is mid to high seventies) but I recently put them into the "hot box" which is kept at 80F... and then he molted days later LOL

 

[ZergFront]

Wow, for such a little thing, he took his sweet time. X-D

 

[Teal]

Of course he did... he knows I was waiting lol
