[QUOTE="Tarantulafeets, post: 198504, member: 36666"] Welcome to the hobby! It is not uncommon for tarantulas to take a while inbetween molts, some Grammostola sp can even go 6 years without molting! A seemani also aren't the fastest growers, so because its still hungry, I don't think a molt is nearby. I would also add way more substrate, a good 5 - 6 inches if possible, as this sp likes to dig. Also, humidity does not matter to a tarantula as much as their internal fluids, which is how they separate them from their old exo when molting. Whenever I see a molt nearby, I give plenty of water in the water dish so that they can drink up. Also, I wouldn't put they towel on the top of the enclosure, as it blocks off their source of ventilation, and while it can make the space more humid, they don't have a flow of air (and they kind of need that ;)) And for ventral sexing, as [USER=34320]@Teresaisrad[/USER] said, it is not the best way to sex your t.
