Great shot ! I'm actually surprised that you've mentioned that she might be pushing 3" and still hasn't gained the glossy black they're known for. Maybe next molt we'll see a real change ?

I was also surprised, actually. And I think the 3" is probably overly generous -- 2.5" is probably a better estimate, but I haven't held up a ruler to her burrow lately to get a better reference. I was definitely expecting her carapace to be darker this molt though.
