Do slings/juveniles moult, when would be the first moult

All Ts moult and the smaller/younger they are the more often they do. Frequency depends on many things like species, feeding and temperatures.


Could I have missed a moult?

Yes, you could miss a moult, some Ts moult down in their burrows and will leave it down below.

But my spider is a pinktoe and wouldn't be burying. I am surprised that I haven't seen a moult in 3 months
