I left the office this morning and found this female B. Auratum lying down for a molt.

I went home to find this!



And her neighbor, my female B. Boehmi joined in. Found this as well. I think she just finished molting when i came home because the exuvium was still a bit damp.

No wonder they call these Ts firelegs!!! whoohoo!!!

thanks guys for taking time out to react!

I really can't take the addiction off this hobby! They are really very cool photo subjects. I can't wait till they start munching on those crickets again! haha

I think its a masterplan for them brachys to molt together! this morning the male B auratum was found lying down for a molt.

Wow I think brachys have some kind of telekinesis and they can contact other brachys and tell them to molt. Over the summer, all 4 of my brachys motled within a week!

the fourth brachy. My male B. Auratum. Still not a matured male, though.
