Here is my 6" L. parahybana (Velvet) getting ready to molt:  Her flipped over and in the process of molting:  I'll get pics of her actually molting if I can stay awake long enough!  My T. blondi and her protective blanket of fuzz. She should molt either tonight or tomorrow some time!  |

THAT is so VERY cool!! I've never seen one actually molting before. It's always the day after. That's so neat how one will use a web...the other uses hairs...for their nests. REALLY great pics!! Thanks for sharing those!

Pffft...holding a shed!? SO not the same! That's a big T though! To show off your collection even better...using straight pins used for sewing are much less obvious.

Actually I've been gluing the carapace tot he white thumb tack so you cant see any sort of indent or pin at all =D The G. rosea is the only one that you can still see the tumb tack on. I'll take a more current pic in a few minutes for you to see =D

I've always thrown out their molts. But that's a neat idea pinning them up on a cork board to see how much they have grown. Kind of late for me to start that now. Maybe when I get new babies.
