ya, it really does. LOL. when my B. vagans molted, (3.5") she flipped around 11pm and didn't start molting until 2am. When my 5" B. smithi molted, he was flipped when I woke up at 10am and hadn't done anything by the time I went to work around 2:30pm. He was completely molted and flipped back up by the time I got home four hours later.

I will post some new pictures of her after rests.. It only took her 7 hours to flip back over..

Well I hope you all enjoyed these.. Because Rosie one of my other G. roseas was working on this..



Rosie has already flipped.. She flipped 20 - 30 minutes ago.. This is a good night for me!!
