BTW I just hope its finished before 10am tomorrow as I have to go into work!!!! Thats roughly 13 hours......

[TabbieNorton]

When my girl molted it was about 6 hours total time...she is 3"...I wish a speedy but most of all healthy and successful molt for yours.

[mike halewood]

Thanks Tabbie, I would estimate pre moult the leg span was around 4.5" so we'll see!!

Heres a short snippet of the 36 (so far) pics I've taken. I'll create a full thread in the pics forum once shes finished.





Even Rosie came to see what was going on

[Robert Farmer]

Excellent pics! Looks beautifal!

[mike halewood]

Oh No, its a mature male

I'll take some decent pics today and hopefully get it confirmed....

Absolutely mind blowing pics there Mike, nice one!

And don't panic about him being a male! At least he's a pretty male, some are quite bland (Bless them!) and you can always 'stud' him out! lol

Anyway, he can't help it if he's bloke

Corking moult shots though, be proud of those!

Caught my P, murinus in the same state last night but the pot I keep him in is rubbish for photos.

Got some of him and some others post moult though, about to post them now...

[Richard Goram]

Amazing sequence of shots. Love the last couple of him pulling his toes out of the exuvium. Good job.

[Neil Ashby]

Great pics Mike !!

Did you suspect he would turn out male or not ?

I wouldnt worry tho , im sure there will be plenty of people on here wanting his "services"
