My 1/4 inch Lp sling molted at some point yesterday. Was a bad-ish molt with leg IV stuck inside the molt. Did my damnedest to help him out of it, successfully, but the leg was already a goner. It's flat looking and curled up and over his abdomen. I can only assume he'll shed it at some point. as for size, he might be 1/3rd of an inch now, if very stretched maybe a half inch...not sure yet, wasn't worried about size and I figure he needs his post molt relaxing now. lol
A. cf burica molted sometime recently. I just saw him come out of his burrow tonight for the first time in 2 weeks or so. I think my P. ornata is in premolt, too!
I have a very heavy premolt LP. Guesstimating the upcoming molt will make her 8i.
Also I have set-up a camera to record it. If I can get a video I'll speed it up/time lapse it. Luckily I'm off work this week so I have nothing better to do than sit around and check on her every 30 mins
I bought my H. mac and got the A. avic as a freebie. I'm pretty sure the H. mac is dead, it sits in the icu while I await a bad smell, but the A. avic has just molted again. I'm sad for the H. mac but happy about the Avic.
So my little LP finally molted. I think she's starting to grow up. Believe she's now in the "juvi" phase. See the link to the video.
As most terrestrials she didn't give me ideal viewing conditions. So this was shot through a smudged 1.5"x1.5" window. Time lapsed to 5:45, total molting time ~3 hours.
