So, yeah, I have a G. rosea that I've had for maybe six or seven years and she's molted twice since I had her: once within a few months of getting her and once two years later. This was fine by me because she was molting at the opposite times than one would expect, as if she was still on the Chile clock and not the North American clock of the seasons so I always figured she's an old girl that may have been imported at an old age. Sure, that's great!
However, I was wondering if other people have these longggggg periods of moltless times, because four years seems like a lot. I give her way less food in the winter than summer and try and give her more "rain" in the spring (really I just over fill the water and pretend I'm controlling the weather). I don't know if I just underfed her so much that she's frozen in time or what, but every few days she moves like the good pet rock she is.
She's never done that Chilean rose fast I've heard of either where they just don't eat, except for like, around when she molted those two times and I didn't feed her until three months after because I don't want crickets to kill her because that would be embarassing for everyone involved.
Sorry for typos. iPhones and late.
But yeah, main point: do other people see this lack of growing?
