B. hamorii juvenile molt

Finally my turn to share a molting photo! This morning was only the second ever time I've seen one of my T's molt

The first ever molt I saw was just couple weeks ago, and sadly I missed the whole process. I just barely caught this one before she was done... Still very cool to watch! She's currently guarding the exuvium and doing spider yoga to stretch out.

Congratulations. It's an amazing sight that I never tire of seeing.

Thank you! It's a shame they seem to be so sneaky about it lol... I saw her starting to lay down a molt mat last night, but it took a looooooong time and she still wasn't finished when I went to bed. I guess she only decided to flip over after 7-8 hours of complete silence in the house.

They vary so much. My male LP once made his moult mat, flipped and moulted all within 6 hours and I got to watch the whole process but the female took 3 days from making her moult mat to flipping although the actual moult was quite quick.
