My T is molting!

[laura916]

So the last time he molted, we didnt see or even know it was happening, he had sealed himself off in his log. About 15min ago i walked by his tank and glanced over and saw this.... picture isnt the best but there he is, flat on his back

Someone help! When he was beginning his molt he was half under the log and half not, hes pushing out now but looks like the log is in the way of him pushig it off completely. Will there be a problem?

 

[laura916]

Yay! Hes done, all the way out! Im so excited! This was the tightest thing ive ever seen live as it was happening!
Hes still on his back though but out of his old skin, amazing!

Congrats! Love molting time, it's like a new birth. The change in size is amazing to me.

thanks, i was soooo excited. Just got the old skin out and my youngest son arranged it to look "normal" lol, can we freeze it to harden it so it will stay that way?

I've never preserved a skin so I really don't know much about it. That'd be a good question to post here, I'm sure somebody knows.
