Now- for the rest of the story!
I could'nt wait to get home today and check on Thumper. After my MM G. rosea died during his last molt, I was paranoid thinking the same thing would happen here.Maybe this was a male and this was it for him...:eek:
Still not 100% certain on the sex but once "she" gets off the exuvium, I'll check it! I'm giving her time to chillax and harden up. :cool:
So, you know by now she made it through the molt just fine, all appendages intact and nothing bent at odd angles!
Here's a couple of quick pics I snapped about thirty minutes ago!




To bad that awesome ebony color won't stay!

I'll get more pics in a few days after she's recovered.

Maybe thats why your MM G. Rosea died... he was mature. They molt, become mature and die during the next molt.
On the other hand, your Blondi is gorgeous :clap:

Yep, that was my point. The rosea had been hooked out for about a year and I knew that would be his last molt, but he did'nt make it. I was thinking that maybe my blondi was a he-not a she and this was his final molt and I'd come home today to find an expired blondi still on his back.
Busy as I was at work, I still worried about that big, hairy monster all day.
Thanks though varucu, she is pretty awesome looking now! :cool:
