[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 173544, member: 32655"] What's its size? Age is just a number for T's. Size is more indicative of things. There are several potential reasons. For example, It could just have molted and hid the old molt in an obscure corner (I had a P. regalis that web her molt completely over the cork bark - I would not have known it was there if I had not seen it webbing the molt up). Or it could just be taking its sweet time. I have had some cases going a whole year without molting. Generally the bigger the T, the less frequent it will molt. How often do you feed it? What size of prey? I don't tend to worry too much if a T is eating well. Also, post a pic. "Pinktoe" can be many species. It's easier for you to google about care / issues if you know the scientific name. [/QUOTE]
