It always surprises me...Brachypelma smithi adult female: took two years for one molt, and less than one year for the next one!Chilobrachys sp. south vietnam blue: when maturing male, he took almost four months before eating after his molt!Davus pentaloris: stopped eating for nine full months (and stayed hidden in her hole doing nothing at all) before molting at last... and she's still a juvie!Ephebopus murinus adult female: stopped eating... five days before molting!Grammostola rosea, still juvie: no molt since two years... and in between, she ate then stopped eating then ate again, then stopped again... and so on!... on the theme: "How to drive a keeper crazy with just a question of skin"!!!</blockquote>
