Literally this little guy molted between me meeting the guy I got him from and my house. I get home and see way too many legs. I am pretty confident that they're just resting atm but he/she is pretty curled up and still. I tried and failed to get a decent picture. They were about 1 3/4"-2" dls pre molt.
Allegedly they'd just eaten this morning, and they were active and didn't seem pre molty at all when I saw them pre-purchase. What are the chances the poor thing is toast from molting midtrip? They were in a safe still part of the car so I don't think they were jostled much if at all, and they were warm and as safe as you can be in a car.
I'm honestly going to feel awful if my first OW is gone before I even got them home on the shelf. I would have never purchased him and brought him home if I suspected an approaching molt. Would have said let's wait a week or two and I'm sure the guy would have been cool with it.
