OBT Molt

[Mad cat lady]

I got Orangina in Feb and it looks like she's molted, i found her on her back, inside her log looking very limp, this morning so i assume that's her skin. There's no sign of her though so i guess she's hiding in one of her little burrows, just hoping she's molted ok How long do you think she'll stay in hiding for?

depends on how big and how safe she feels in her tank. usually the bigger the T the longer they take to harden up. adult usually taking a couple of week, while sling need only a few days.

Silly me, that wasn't her skin, it was her! I hadn't seen one actually molting before! It took about 4 hours and i watched the whole process which was interesting! She's a few months old and about 7cm, including legs, pic of her skin attached

Congratulations on a successful molt, looking forward to seeing the "new" her.

She looks lovely, but has gone in to hiding, probably a bit fragile!
