That's awesome!! My girl's butt didn't get all that dark...I was expecting to wait about few weeks for her to molt...surprised me last night when I caught her on her back!! LOL

How long did the whole process take?
I'd say it took about 2.5 hours...she was on her back for close to 2 hours before she actually got started and then it went pretty quickly. Glad it's not like a Blondi molt!! Waiting 12 hours to make sure they're okay is a bit much! LOL

Excellent pictures!!! I like seeing the three shed molts lined up next to each other for growth comparisons between sheds :D

Thanks!! I wish I would have kept all of her molts...would have been neat to see it from the tiny ones to the bigger ones.
