Night before last I started my usual inspection of the T room. As I was changing a water dish something in the enclosure above caught my eye. Someone was molting quite height off the sub. And then the *wait a minute* happened. Thats a mature male. As I was looking at him the other one caught my eye. Both me mm G.rosea and porteri had molted. One stuck before it ever got out and dead. The other still in a struggle to get out. Did I help him yes. Should I have helped him no. There was to much damage from being stuck in his molt and he wasn't going to make it anyway.
The reason I tried is last year I had another G.porteri mm do the same and he molted rather well for the situation. I had posted about him as he was doing ridiculously well. Even eating like a juvenile. I was told he would die soon. Well that was 8 months to a year ago and he's still doing very well.
I'm kinda in disbelief that this happened at the same time. Ok here are the pics.
