Anyway, I have an A. avicularia from a reputable breeder in Canada. It is around 2.5-3in DLS. It last moulted over a year ago. It seems fine, eats regularly, is somewhat active (as in it’s a pet rock by day, 360-degree poop-sprayer by night hahaha so I know it sometimes wanders around a bit). I’m wondering if it’s strange that a relatively small T of this species has taken this long between moults. I have 28 in my collection, all different (mostly beginner-friendly) species and it’s just… most of them moult much more frequently, especially at that size. Thanks in advance for input.</blockquote>
