It looks so shiny! Is that just post molt colouration or do they keep the shine?

@RezonantVoid I don't think it's really that shiny. It's probably just a combination of post-molt pallor and the flash reflecting off the carapace.

@Ungoliant ah, i see. The abdomen looked like had some green, red and blue shine to it. Regardless, still a nice looking little one

@RezonantVoid There is a touch of iridescence; I think some of that coloring fades as they age.
