My GBB girl has closed herself in again....last time she was in there for about six weeks awaiting a molt. That was about three months ago. She's a young adult. Is this normal time between molts?

Wow, the larger Ts do take their time. I guess this is pretty normal if I consider trending my molts of my younger Ts. Now, just top up your patience as this will be another waiting game. ;)

Yes it's normal, both of mine have done this. I was very worried but finally they showed up. As soon as she's hungry, she'll open the door and wait for food to pass by... She won't let herself starve to death in her closed burrow, no problems. But I must admit it always breaks my nerves when I have to wait to see them again!
