L. parahybana molted today! It was in premolt for 5 days, shortest premolt by far of mine for any species. No picture, specimen is far too small to see
Checked on my Ts this morning, found an exuvium in my GBB's enclosure! It was a relief, because she'd been in premolt for about three months. I hope she gets huge!
Annual update: No moults here.
I actually think it's been a year+ since I last had a moult. 7 adults/sub-adults make for boring T keeping. Last molt (I think) was B albo -- the smallest in my collection and even she refuses to moult.
[I almost miss when mine were slings and juvies and I had a new molt every couple weeks or so....]
GBB moulted last night -- caught her pulling out of exo not 2 hours after my earlier post here!!! Can't make this, er, stuff, up.
Apparently the best way to make a T moult is to post that you haven't had a moult in over a year.
That said GBB wasn't on my short list for possible moults, B albo and G pulchripes were (since they're my giant juvie/sub adults [both were 2nd instar when purchased in 2014]).
Plus, I noticed last night Euthalus sp blue looks positively gravid (not gravid!) so she's ready to ready to pop her carapace any day now too.
Proves the old adage: if you want to find something you lost -- buy a replacement. Want a T to moult, claim to have had no moults in a year.
