I've had an A avic for three weeks now(first T), and it hasn't eaten in two and a half weeks, so I figured it must be in premolt.
I kept the humidity high, and always sat impatiently next to its tank, waiting for a molt.
I tried my hand at ef sexing, and I figured it could be male.
So this fine, Philadelphian morning, I wake up, and see him upside down in his web! Yay, he was gonna molt! I bolt down the stairs to tell my father. I run back up the stairs, and take a few pics of him.
Then, something moves in the corner of my eye.
My avic had already finished molting!!!
He was a gorgeous blue-ish color!
When I took out the exuvium, it was still soft, so he was fresh out of the molt.
And I checked the exuvium, he's a male.
Here are some pictures.
Here's when I thought it was him in the web:
The exuvium:
His gorgeous coloring(and him hiding):
And a color comparison(what a difference!):
