A lot of *that* time is because you don't know where half of them are. Are they actually still in the enclosures, or are they creeping up on you every time you turn your back in a big swarm? My reassurance there is that if they were loose my regalis probably would have already eaten me ‍<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="♀️" title="Female sign    :female_sign:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/2640.png" data-shortname=":female_sign:" />Did some water top ups before bed and turned off the light. But as I'd turned to do so I'd spotted something - wrong way up. Now these days I only *mildly* panic upon seeing this, as I remind myself that's pretty much how and why it all works. Except their legs were that little bit curled and I was worried, despite knowing what a death curl looks like, because I only caught a glance and they're small etc. In this case as well, the colour contrast both in how vivid the colour itself was vs wasn't, and how wet vs dry the different parts were really stood out. So it looked pretty bad. Totally normal moult though. Just looks a bit different on different colours, and especially when it's a T who has previously been burrowed while moulting. Would be nice if they'd signpost when undertaking the process though!So +1 moult to my Kochiana brunnipes.</blockquote>
