Anansi Anew!

I noticed Anansi lying on her back in the back of her cage early this morning! I don't think she has molted in 4 years!

Hyde Followed Suit

As SFB was finishing his molt, I noticed Hyde's legs sticking up in the air as well! More photos to take (and share)! Jeckyll had already molted recently. These two are young enough that their molting is usually within a couple of weeks of each other. They each last molted in May.

SFB Molt - as Predicted!

Last month, in my General Update, I mentioned that Señor Fuzzy Britches had finally begun digging in his new space. I also noted that his coloration had changed a bit and predicted he might soon molt.

Elmo spotted SFB in the beginnings of molting yesterday morning! I was so pleased and (once things really got started) spent hours photographing and taking video of the process!
