Welcome to the forum and the hobby. The best thing this hobby can teach you is patience. 7 months is nothing. We personally have Ts that have gone longer than that without eating , let alone molting. Even something as fast growing as an Lp will take a few years to grow to adult size. I’d do more research thou and don’t look at online care sheets. LPs do get big and are impressive but they aren’t the 3rd largest.
Thanks for info I am new at this hobby and look forward to continuing raising slings

7 months & molted a few times!!! That is fast. My A johnnycashi & H chilensis have only molted once with me in that time.
Personally, I would say how fast a T molts has less to do with the species & conditions, than it does with the T it's self. I have several T's where I brought more than one sling from the same source at the same time & few of them have ever molted at the same time as each other.
