I'm stoked, I woke up this morning to find my N. Chromatus flipped over on her back!!! I'm really really happy, I've been expecting a molt for the last week and a half due to the darkening of her abdomen. Looks like she's gonna do it for me! I do feel bad because I was refilling her water dish and had to move some stuff to get at it (she likes to ummm, drag it around) and I didn't realized she was flipped until it was too late. I'm sure she's fine, just sorry I stressed her a bit.

Nice! What size is she? I really like how dramatic the colour changes with them after a molt, especially as they get a bit drab in the weeks beforehand.

My versicolor and P. formosa both molted in the last couple days, and my N. chromatus is also due soon, in the next few weeks or so.

She's about 6" or so... not sure yet, she's got to stretch out for me. The color change was very drastic, i'm working on getting pics up right now.
