I would guess your sling just wasn't hungry or just got startled (was the Dubia too big?) as she will go a lot more time between moults. Even my faster growing slings go 6-8 weeks. Brachys take forever to moult! For instance, I have a 1cm B smithi since September 19 which I presume was 2 instar when I got it. It's moulted 1x. My B. auratum sling bought at the same time has moulted 2x. I'd go with [USER=4947]@Nunua[/USER] that you're looking at a roughly 70 day cycle. But that's just a guess, as although I have an adult female boehmei I've only just bought it.  Maybe others can chip in on their boehmei slings moult cycles if they've experienced something different.</blockquote>
