I have 7 ghost nymphs 4 molted to L2 on 6-23 and 3 molted to L2 on 6-25. On 6-30 one molted to L3, 3 molted to L3 on 7-1, 2 molted to L3 today and the last one looks like it will molt tomorrow. It has been in the upper 90s F to low 100s F with some high humidity, but molting to L3 in 7-8 days seems unusual to me. I can't figure out if this post is a statement or question.

 
Heat here definitely speeds them up,they seem to eat more and in return it triggers them to molt in shorter periods,as long as they are not too warm I don't think this is an issue,unless you are wanting them to keep longer lol
