She Moulted!

My little girl has had her first moult! This morning I checked in on her and found her to be much bigger, with a paler body - it was then that I noticed the tiny shed skin in a depression in the substrate!

I'm so relieved that she's shed safely, and she's a fine looking beasty now!

I'll try and get some pictures soon.

  1. Great news, I'm always glad to see a molt to have occurred, I have yet to get to watch a full molt happen.

  2. Yes, I was a little disapointed that I didn't see any of it. Oh well!

    I did watch my sub-adult G.rosea moult. It is the most incredible thing to see.

  3. How 'complete' are the moulted skins? I'm picturing a glass case with a collection of increasing sized spider skins with little cards showing date and ages to track her growth. :)
