Thanks for sharing the photos, C1ay. She really has grown to be... well... to be quite lovely. I remembered this photo from a while back, and you clearly take care of her well. Cheers.

Talking Re: Thera Molted :)

Pretty darn...interesting C1ay. The way you got her molt layed out on that platter, I got the impression 'dinner is served.' Anybody claiming it's an aphrodisiac yet? If not, I got dibs on it.

Re: Thera Molted :)

So "molt" means what? Shed the skin?

Yep.
I actually did not know that spiders molted. I thought it was a reptilian trait.

Re: Thera Molted :)

Spiders have an exoskeleton so they have to molt in order to grow....

Hobbits, obviously.

I know it's whatever, ignorant of me or something, but I can't STAND spiders or bugs, or really to be touched by anything with more that four legs.
