I couldn't be happier today to see that my first T, my biggest, my queen molted for the first time at my home.
When I got her she was all grey with some pink which was weird to me, and I even doubted that it's a parahybana.

But the colors now are stunning!

I can't wait to see how much bigger she will be :)
She was little over 6 inches.

my what small hands you have ;)

I love the pink on them, it's how they got the name "Salmon Pink Bird Eater" Which is kinda stupidly redundant, salmon is pink... o_O I've never seen the color "salmon" as blue or green :p

Mine is maybe 4 inches now, waiting for him/her to molt so i can see if it's a him or her.

Small? Well, thank you :D
I'm surprised by the color change she had, from almost all grey to black hehe. Love the pink on them too :)
Hoping for yours to be a girl! Fingers crossed

Cool, and coincidently one of my L. para's has just molted too.. gone from a browny grey colour to quite a dark black. I don't think it will be long before my other one molts too, as they have always been close together in the past. :D
In fact, it's pretty much new home time judging by how much bigger it's got! :eek:

I love the change in colour! Congrats on the molt btw :)
My girl was doing some T yoga today so I was able to measure her! Almost 8 inches now :eek:
