[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 31775, member: 1152"] Nope, you shouldn't worry. It sounds as if she is eating well and behaving normally. There are numerous factors that can dictate the time between molts, like diet, temperature, and age, and there is never set standard. In my experience, Grammostola species are slow growers, and the time between molts increases with age. Your T will molt when she is ready. :) My adult G. porteri hasn't molted in over four years, so it can get much worse! :) [/QUOTE]
