Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 17205" data-attributes="member: 545"><p>My B. smithi female is 6 years old and about 3.5 inches, and she only just molted 3 months ago. But she has stopped eating and her bald patch has turned black, so she's apparently molting again! I'm thrilled but it seems like it's happening sort of soon...is it, or does this sound about right for a juvie? I thought they were extremely slow growers. Thanks. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
