This is our first molt with our Arizona blonde. Everything seemed to go really well. I just wanted to ask what typical behavior is after molting?

Not sure what you mean by typical behavior. They don't do much of anything after molting. Molting is an extremely exhausting process for them, so the next few to several days are spent resting to regain energy and allowing the exoskeleton to harden up. A lot of times they'll stretch out and can be seen in some rather strange poses.

OK thanks! That's exactly what I was asking
I figured the lethargy was normal but just wanted to make sure. She hasn't moved out of the corner where she molted. Normally she is in there rearranging all the bedding in her tank. She looks nice and healthy though.

Great to hear. I'm sure she's especially pretty to look at now.
