That feeling when

Your tiny sling without warning molts from an inconspicuous generic black butt into a solid juvenile! Really starting to look like a real b. Albopilosum. He molted Sunday night. Now he's super hyperactive and crawls about non stop. He used to be a great rock before. And he's easily twice as big. Now waiting for my g pulchripes to molt. Should be a good show. 1430338427080-1536273122.jpg

It's a close race between my Gbb. Auratum,smithi, and my largest H.Incei.
Who's next to moult. Exciting stuff

I love how they change, too (although I kind of miss my A. versi's electric blue colours, lol).
The one that really caught me off guard was my T. gigas. It seems to have doubled in size after his last molt with beautiful strong colours. It's gone into hiding and blocked off all entrances which tells me it's in premolt again (my husband was worried it had escaped, lol). I can't wait to see it again.

It is really a mixed emotions when you see yout T's molting/newly molt... Excited with worries... Amazed while watching how they molt... See thier progression and after a day or two, their color changes to more vivid...
