[QUOTE="Steph1304, post: 210004, member: 38180"] I called the shop up yesterday and sent them some really poor quality photos (but the best I could get). They reassured me that she was still alive as she hadn't curled up and that she did look as if she was about to moult or trying to moult. They also told me that juvies can take up to a week to moult, whereas I'd expected a few hours (which is how long my versicolor took). The smithii hasn't moved at all this morning so I'll just wait and leave her to it and hope for the best. Apologies for the really poor pics, but I don't want to move the tank to disturb her, and lighting in my office is really dim. I'll also add a quick snap of my versicolor, just because I was able to snap a pic of her underneath yesterday and was fascinated to see her fangs and her book lungs [/QUOTE]
