Tarantulas and Spiders
How big is it?
Depending on food intake, temps and growth rates.
I'm trying to think how often mine molt. I'm going to guess 3 times in about 4 months ? I can't remember when I picked them up. Should be in my records but I don't really keep track of molts.

Next up: me freaking out about him molting!! 
how often do the molt?? (my friend was actually asking me this, and I didn't know what to tell him)
As a general rule, it correlates with how often you feed. Could be every six weeks, could be one a year. There's always exceptions though. I have an Avic avic that's molted only three times in a year. I have an Aphonopelma hentzi that molts twice a year. I have Psalmos that molt monthly.
Premolt can last just days up to months, and they won't eat. Usually. I've had some eat the day before molting.
My versi molted about once every two to three months. That was with being fed 2 to 3 times a month.

Re: Tarantulas and Spiders
Also give a week after molting before you feed. Their fangs need time to harden.

How would I tell if the enclosure is too dry??
I've been spraying a little bit of water in there every afternoon, and have the bottlecap (though I don't have it filled all the way)
Just wondering.....his movements have been a little jerky recently, and he still hasn't webbed
