So exciting!!

Well, color me surprised! Was doing the rounds just a few minutes ago, checking on everyone.... The N. chromatus has yet to molt. I realized I may have jumped the gun a little since her WHOLE booty hasn't turned black yet....just most of it. My G. rosea all of a sudden has a totally black abdomen. And the little versi DID molt last night! Sweet! Must be the season. I know I shouldn't be bugging the freshly molted versi, but I just HAD to see her in the light, and boy....that is the most STUNNING shade of blue I've ever seen! She doesn't appear to be much bigger though, just maybe a little stouter and puffier (if that makes sense). Ahh, I love this.

(resurrecting my own thread)

Yay! The N. chromatus molted today!!! Heck only knows how I'm gonna get that molt out of her burrow. She looks very fresh, so....pictures coming soon!
