9"+ Female T. Blondi molt sequence - Video & Pics

[robc]

Well, our 9"+ female T. Blondi molted last night/this morning...took about 10 hours for her to complete the molt. I took pictures and videotaped the entire thing. She's resting now and looks stunning! She does seem to have a small abnormality on her abdomen...if anyone has an idea as to what this is, please let me know. Also, she was gravid and during the molt I saw a few clear eggs come out of her furrow...has anyone ever seen that before? I hope you can take the time to watch all the videos...I know there's a lot and hope they don't bore anyone. I just thought it was very intersting and worth sharing. We stayed up the whole time (she finished at about 2am) so we could be there in case there was an issue and also to document the entire event. Thanks! Rob

Here's the pictures of the entire sequence - for those of you with a slower download speed, I wanted you guys to be able to see it without it taking 10 hours.

And here's a close up of the abdomen, you can see the discolored, "lumpy" section I was referring to:

I realy have no idea??? There was no blood, wasn't on her before the molt. I say it could only be 2 things......mold (I don't see how??) or a Ulcer....I realy hope this is not the case......rob

could an ulcer just pop up like that after a seemingly good molt?

This something I have never encountered, I am almost thinking that maybe part of her molt stuck on her....I am going to examine the molt.

Nice vid's, pretty amazing stuff. I think my 7" blondi is about to do the same. I better make sure she doesn't se the enclosure yours is in or she may get jealous and start plotting against me . How did you make that one? Or is there already a thread on it?

 

[ReMoVeR]

Amazing everyone got to love it.Thank god there are some ppl like you in here that post these type of documenting videos and stuff like that. They amaze me all the time.

Why does the T wiggles on that part ?:? is taht to try to get rid better of the exo ?

Actually, that is the smallest T. Blondi enclosure I have...the other two each in half of a 125gal...this one is just a 30gal breeder...I never did a tutorial on it...pretty simple cage compared to some of my other ones. But thank you for the compliment...she loves it though!!

yeah, I'm 6'5" and 260lbs...but I don't mind someone complimenting my wife...within reason of course...

 

[ReMoVeR]

[robc]

They all seem quite happy....but who knows....one of them could be plotting against me and I won't know until it's too late! LOL

Mine is in a 37 gal... lol and I thought I was hooking her up with a T mansion!

125 gal... that is huge. guess I should get to work lol. Nice work on the vid's again:clap: :clap: , that would have tested my patience for sure

 

[DDaake]

Thank You Rob!

This vid gives me an idea of what I'm looking forward to. My girl is ~10" and I'll be biting my nails every step of the way. Do you think, if she still has eggs, they would still be viable after the molt? Thx again Rob. D

 

[Thompson08]

Wow I have got to get me one of these! Thats to bad she didn't give you a sac though. I hope you find out what that mark on her abdomen..good luck on your next breeding attempt
