Is it possible, that even once a tarantula molts, they have to almost molt again? Even without issue with previous molting. I understand reasonable issues like, messed up legs, missing limbs or stuck molt in areas. I'm talking straight up, still too big, after just molting. Acting cramped in their new clothes? Does this make sense and has anyone encountered this.

Do you mean to molt right after a molt?

Essentially, yeah. Something seems off and it's hard to fully explain. But that's what it looks like

So I did find a post on this subject. Saying it can happen. Just more a sped up process. Crazy to think they can do so.

I’ve no idea if it can happen but my GBB has never got her old appetite back after her last moult and it literally feels as if we’re waiting for the next moult. I don’t think she’s sped it up but she’s not eaten properly for months and I think she’s “waiting” till she moults next. Not consciously but instinctively. She’s not a full adult yet and she does have an “injury” that I hope will heal over subsequent moults.

It's a stressful situation, for sure. I'm getting sent thru a rollercoaster of emotions. They know what they have to do and we just have to be patient. Sucks not being able to help more
