thats right nova has just shed again!

for the first time i saw well almost all of the process, i came in just now and saw her on her back, i had an heart attack, i starting breathing heavily etc cause i thought she had died, but then my mind got into actions and realised she was shedding >_<

anyway i saw her push her skin off was amazing, took her about a hour and was just amazing........she hasnt finished yet she has is just moving her legs in the air lol i gotta fish out the skin.....

Sorry, I must have missed it on a past thread, but what type of T is nova? How big was it before the molt? Well, I hope the molt comes out well.

Sometimes they stay on theit back for a little, then they will flip, they usually always curl their legs and stay on thier back for a little while, don't worry she's fine, congradulations!! glade to hear she had a good molt!

compare her fangs to a T.blondi and then see what you consider 'huge'. :)
ha

but they'll be on their backs for a while, slowly pumping their legs and trying to get their new 'skin' working. They'll be flexing and unflexing, getting a feel for their new 'skeleton'.

Ah, she isn't evil, she just wants to tear it up. A lot of mine do that too. I know its frustrating though when you want that molt!
