Nice! G. pulchra have to have the best transformation when they molt. From grubby brown to silky jet black, I love it :drool: How big is she? I look forward to the 'after' pics :)

here she is !!!!!!

Wow she done it, and i watched every second of it to, i am pretty sure it is a female so i think i need to go on a hunt for a boyfriend for her.

The top of her abdomen looks like it is still stuck to her with most of it loose do i just leave it or do i wait for her to turn over and try and remove it very carefully?

I just measured the molt and she was bang on 5 inches maybe a bit bigger now, how big do these get?

I also filmed it all and once i have edited it i will post a link to it.

Hope you enjoy the pics

She looks lovely! :D Good luck finding her a boyfriend. I have a 4" pulchra so I will be on the lookout soon too.

I think it will be ok to remove the moult if it is still stuck, just gently peel it off with tweezers or something. Tho if it doesn't come away easily I'd be inclined just to leave it, as long as it's not blocking anything important.
