Does this look like molting?

[smallara98]

After the 2.25" mark they ussually start getting adult colors. At least in my experience.


Smallara, First you say its fine now its not.. Stop giving such short sighted advice..


Hassman- Thats an epic picture! Thanks for sharing.

? Yeah, I thought so at first, but now since I see her DANGLING from a leg, I think hes gonna need to catch her!

 

[hassman789]

She is out safely! And she didn't need the towel! Lol she was scrambling to grab hold of somthing when she got out! She is quite bendy lol.

 

[smallara98]

Beautiful! Well, I guess your right Agent. I was close by .25"! LOL. Well, congrats! Its beautiful Now, take the molt and make sure thats a girl! If not, I have a female over here waiting for a male. lol

 

[Vespula]

Congrats on the molt! Wonderful pictures.

 

[Lorgakor]

Very nice series of pictures.

 

[smallara98]

I sorta wish there was a species of Avic. that stayed with that bright blue color as adults Those would be high in demand

I would of used the towel. Your T scrambling around after a molt isnt good. It could injure its self and lose fluid(unlikely) but it may bend its legs odd and form funky.. I had a freshly molted 3" T. stirmi scramble and bend his tarsus backwards! They would bend backward until his next molt.. It just didnt look right..

I had the towel about 3-4 inches below him incase his scrambling didn't work! And I bought it as a confirmed female so I'm guessing it is a female!

Its good to know the T has the senses to not fall to the ground while molting. lol If it was in the wild all the other Ts would be laughing, pointing and shooting poop! "I bet i can hit him on the way down!"

 

[hassman789]

Now it fell onto the towel that was under it (good thing I didn't remove it!) Now it has a flat surface to "adjust" on. now my worry is that he is on the very edge of the towel!

Yeah I don't know how. he was already out and clinging to the wall by like two legs while he did the freshly molted thing with his other legs, so I guess he lost his grip!

Edit- GREH RTGSDRG HASRGRNSRGI SKGBSD NFVDSZF She is practically off the towel, is she trying to give me a heart attack!

Haha, she'll be alright. She knows what she's doing! :}

[smallara98]

Any updates? You should take a pic soon, so we can see the adult colors Not when she is all WHITE!

 

[hassman789]

Shes still pretty white. I'll take one now and in a few days when she gets her actual colors. I can actually see her heartbeat, somthing I've always wanted to witness!

Wow, beautiful! Dont you sorta wish they stayed with that BLUE color? I do sometimes

Eh, I like it's new blue carapace with red abdomen. I hope it's legs get more red next molt. The legs right now don't have alot of red (Only a little bit in some spots). I guess that because it is just starting to get it's adult colors.
