My L.Klugi has moulted (pics)

[Leanne King-Smith]

My little Lasiodora Klugi moulted yesterday, and boy, did he scare me! He moulted just fine, kicked off the old skin, had a good stretch and then curled right up. I was CONVINCED he was a goner! He was like it for about an hour, then he decided to flip back over(which I missed, tut) and he was fine! I really thought he was dead!

Quincy before moult


After moult, about an inch or so now

Hope you dont mind Leanne, I moved this to the pics section (doing a bit of site spring cleaning )

Certainly a difference between the two images eh?
I see he's already giving you some heart stopping moments, i'm sure they do it on purpose

That's no problem Colin. I just put it in the other section because my post never seem to get many replies in the pics section.

Yes, is a real worry, but so glad he's ok

I know the pix section doesn't get the audience it should do for some reason....there's some cracking shots here!!!

I tend to click the "quick links" button and choose todays new posts from the drop down list, that way i don't miss anything new going up in any section.

It is a shame as this part of the forum gets some of the best posts if you ask me.
