I've only had one molt so far, but this is what I did with it.

I got a 2-disc CD case and used superglue to "mount" it. Then I was able to bring it into my classroom and show all the kids. They love it and tried to scare people with it who stopped by the room!

I made an attemp at stuffing one of B.albo Roxanne's exuvia... And you can see the cotten, and she looks really messed up 'drunk'. But not too terrible for my 1st exuvia taxidermy...

She looks pretty good crawling out of the bix though

Hey what kind if glue did you guys use to fix the carapace? And how exactly did you fix the abs? Too fragile when wet or dry IMO...
