Second molt for my LP juvie

[Ophidia]

I got this LP about 2 months ago, as a 2.5" or so spiderling. It had just molted. About a month after I brought it home, it molted again. Here we are, 2 months out, and it molted AGAIN. The first time it was bigger. This time it's WAY bigger. I was going to take a pic just now when I grabbed the exuvium, but the poor girl got pretty upset about the intrusion (still all squishy and stuff) so I left her alone. I'll get a pic after she hardens up a bit, and hopefully be able to get a usable comparison shot with her last post-molt pic. You can really tell with the size difference between the exuvium legs and her current legs.

She did a number on the opisthosoma skin last time and this time, so I'm having trouble teasing it apart to verify sex. Hopefully I can get it unwound after it soaks with a few drops of dishsoap water for a while. She almost tied it in a knot.

Congrats on the moult. They certainly do grow fast.

hope you have a ton of patience. Some are nearly impossible to stretch out and get a good view. Never had a Lasiodora (too itchy)

good luck!!

Here's a crappy cellphone pic through the side of her cage. I'll upload a good one later when she's no longer fragile.

She assumed "the position" so I got a measurement (front two pairs of legs straight forward, back two pairs back). The diagonal from right front to left rear was 4.5".

4.5". She was 3" before the molt. How did she even have this hidden underneath her old exoskeleton? She's going to be huge and gorgeous. Can't wait.
