i recently got a g.rosea and the whole time i had it it didn't eat atall, i was realy confused and yesturday i saw it strugling on its side, i was worried and thought it was dying. when i came back i saw what appeared to be 2 heads, then i realised she was molting. I had no idea that the molt would look so much like the real T, it even has the fangs in it. It was very strange to see but was very amazing aswell.

here are some pics people!

Molting is a really interesting thing to watch...

My adult male did this too, once!! I didn't get a pic , but just stood there observing for a while - it was so adorable! It reminded me of my mom's dog stretching out and relaxin'.

Here is my baby, Dmitri. I got him as a birthday present, about a month ago. He's pretty calm and sweet. Likes to dig and just move dirt around. I've seen him drink twice, and it's pretty awesome!

And, here is my newest addition, Charlotte. Hopefully, she will turn out to be a girl - otherwise, I guess I'll be calling "her" Charlie!

I love my rosies!!!

I came home to my rosie in the corner of its cage molesting itself....maybe it was cleaning itself.. dunno it was rubbing itself with like 4 of its legs.
