It has not molted with me yet, but is currently off it's food and looks quite plump and shiny, so hopefully it'll go soon.They're really pretty things from sling to adult, a bit like Pink Toes.P.S: I'm more and more tempted by a P. Metallica (OMG where does is end, lol? Crazy spider lady), too. I've been a bit apprehensive by people online describing them as so aggressive with bad venom, etc, but then again, if you don't handle them and respect them (as in not put them in a situation where they'd feel they'd have to bite) they wouldn't purposely attack you, IMHO. I feel like in other forums some of the more experienced owners seem to try to put you off them.</blockquote>
