[QUOTE="Adraps11, post: 121559, member: 4220"] Thanks! She's barricaded herself in her habba hut hide. I can see inside on the end that's up against the glass, with protective webbing all up and down it. As she slid out of the old skin, it shifted sideways, obscuring my view of the other side, so that I can just barely see that she's righted herself. Looking in from the well sealed, NO DUBIA ARE GETTING IN HERE!, entrance, I can see two of her new front legs, and just a tiny view of the already expanded carapace. The complete child in me wants to tear down the seal, and take out the molt with some tongs, but I'll just wait until she comes out herself, as I've always done. These are marvelous creatures that never fail to fascinate me. lol Now I'll be busy keeping four sub-adult roaches alive, until her appetite returns. Easy peasy! Switching from crickets to roaches has made a night and day difference in terms of, nutrition, upkeep, smell, and the mortality rate. [/QUOTE]
