Had a mature male H. pulchripes start molting. You can see the hooks on the molt. This doesn’t happen very often and typically the male does not survive the molt.

So I just got a B. Hammori and literally I put the little guy in its enclosure and it molted, I can't completely see but do they not do molt mats?Very excited to find my biggest girl (b.hamorii) flipped over this morning. I set up a webcam and live streamed it so I could watch while at work lol

He did not survive. No injuries that I am aware of. Ive heard of mature males molting but this is the first time I have had experience with it personally.Did he survive?
Interesting that he would molt again. Maybe he had an internal injury that triggered the molt?
