Hey guys, thought it would be cool to share my molt experience with all of you. My A. metallica just molted for the first time since I got it. It molted this morning or late last night. My wife noticed it earlier when we were gonna feed all the "children" and she saw that it had molted. I will try to get a good pic soon. We have put off feeding it for the moment. It gained about 1/2", maybe a little less.

Glad the molt went ok, how big was your metallica before the molt? I am waiting for mine to molt, I have been keeping it well fed. I can't wait for it to lose the juvenile red on the abdomen. Post a pic when you can. :)

I would say that b4 the molt it was about 1". Now eyeballing it I'd say its gained 1/4"-1/2" on its size, she doesnt stretch out fully very often so its hard to tell.
