D Diadema moult skin

Woke up to a nice surprise this morning. Seems this moult went more smoothly for her this time. I managed to snap this photo of the skin dangling down before my camera ran out of battery. Unfortunately she's hiding her dark green self away in her cork round!
You should display it in a shadow box. Their molt is so easy to mount and unlike a tarantula the molt will look like its alive.
 
@Spidermolt I will look into it ASAP. I might not manage it with this one (they get very fragile very quickly as I'm sure you're aware) but I'm definitely interested in mounting one of these intact! Perhaps could you point me in the direction of more info on that please? I'd very much appreciate it :)
 
I'll type up a small tutorial when I get back home with a picture of one that I made a while back. (The next time my guy molts I'll make a full one with pictures for every step)
