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.
Well, it should next molt. But personally, I like the ADULT colors too ;)

That T is not in premolt. Note the exposed skin on her abdomen (rump) is still pink. That would be very brown/black if she were getting ready to molt. Go ahead and feed!

And, by the way, it is more appropriate to start a new thread than to tack onto somebody elses.

I love the color on this species, and getting to watch them molt is still an awesome experience. Congrats!

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!

Here she is now.
I know im kinda resurecting this thread, but pic update! :D
