Longest time between moults was created by Ceratogyrus
What is the longest time that you have had between moults for a spider?

I have been waiting on my mated muticus to either moult or drop and she is just doing nothing.
Just checked up on my old breeding thread on here and she was mated a year and 11 months ago.
She must have moulted at least a month before that if not more, which would put it at 2 years without a moult.

Any others spider that have taken that long that you have, or just the longest you have had to wait even if it is 2 months. :)
*Sits and waits for rosea owners...*

2 years!!!! Crazy.
I read that G rosea can take long, but a muticus... that is just strange. :)
My longest is 9 months from my G pulchripes and they are still smallish (8cm or so)

Well all of my T's are still slings and juvies but yes, waited for a +/- 3Cm G.Rosea for about 2 months :P all of that time spent hidden away in it's hide.

Also have a small, really small G. Pulchripes (about the size of a old 2cent coin) I'd say 1Cm legspan max that hasn't moulted for 2 and a half months...still eating, abdomen healthy size but black.

This is why you can't just have one T :P

My G rosea (RCF) sling is 2cm and has now been at least 3 months since the last molt.
Stopped feeding it about a month and a half ago as its very plump and freaks out when I introduce food.
Frustrates me so don't even want to know what 2 years must be like.
But hey that's nature for you.
