I got an Usumbrra sling 3 weeks ago and I think it is getting ready to molt now. I am glad you posted the molt record. Very interesting, looks like you got a molt about every month.

Yeah, I got a 1" OBT sling from Botar about 5 months ago, along with a crawshayi of the same size. The King Baboon is still a 1" "prince" (I know they're notoriously slow growers), but the OBT eats like a pig and is already about 3"! How on Earth do you keep track of the molts? Mine has webbed up its enclosure so much that I usually only see bits of the molt well after the fact.

I check on mine regularly And I estimate when their next molt will be When I think one is approaching a molt I check on it regularly. I'm usualy luckily enough to catch them in the act Usumbra molt tell tale signs are-Closed off entrances, low intrest in food or none at all, do not come to the entrances/exits at night.
