Even us people keeping T's for a while longer already sometimes experience bad days - and losses.
Yesterday my Tapinauchineus violaceus female attempted to molt - she didn't make it. Checking on her some 6 hours later, I found her with a burst abdomen, her legs barely out of the old exoskeleton. RIP beautiful girl, you'll be missed! Goes to show that it is out of your hands sometimes.
On the upside, my AF B. auratum and one of my E. sp. "red" molted too - and both just fine. Even Phaedra decided to grace me with her presence last night after molting. First time in over 6 months that I saw her.
D.pentaloris just pushed her old jacket out of their hide 2nd molt in 9 weeks. Thankfully I'm past the stage of worrying when I haven't seen her for a few days.
Four molts from three T's since I got back into the hobby with no issues makes me feel a little less nervous.
Another unexpected molt, juvenile B. cabocla....no wonder it was so upset when I tried to feed it yesterday, flicking hairs like crazy at it's unwanted meal. I took the roach out almost immediately, good thing.
