OMG I'm so excited...my first T I got a T. albopilosum is molting and it just started. He/she is on it's back and I caught it in the first phase. I got a photo but it is not a good photo and I don't want to manipulate the enclosure for a better one disturbing it.

I've been waiting for this quite some time. It should come out 3.5 inches. This also will be the first molt I can retrieve to finally see if it's male or female. This is a good day but I will be monitoring to check if there is any difficulty.

This was a beautiful and most emotional moment for me. I'm very attached to my T. albo. I just checked and he/she is doing great almost completely finished.

I was worried about complications but it looks like everything went great. Just a little bit left and it's complete. I will also finally get to sex it. Here's hoping for a female. If it's a male I'll still cherish it.
