B vagan white after molt?

[Icculus]

When i got home today i found that our B vagan had molted. This is its third molt since I brought it home.(premolt 3/4 dls) . I'm assuming it's completely normal for it to look white but I've not noticed this in previous molts? So....is this normal or did my spider just morph into an albino? Also cool side note. I think it's eating one of its previous legs

Its normal, Once its exo hardens it'll develop its color.

Natural, completely natural. They haven't hardened yet.

Perfectly normal. As the new exoskeleton hardens it will darken. This white color occurs in most if not all Arthropods post molt, BTW.

I believe so. I remember seeing my first molted cricket and wondering how the heck I got an 'albino' cricket then I realized what was happening.

You have no idea how many posts Roach Forum gets about "Look, I found an albino cockroach!" XD

That's what I figured. Just hadn't seen it in any of my slings before

T should darken as it hardens up. Some look especially pale during moult itself -- weird first time I witnessed it.

I'm a meanie -- first 'albino' roach in my colony I ever saw -- I fed as first post-moult meal to a T. Oh, Ts fangs had hardened, but just thought it might a soft treat.

It's pretty cool. First time I've been able to see the yoga poses. It's laying on it's side grooming it's abdomen and stretching
