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.

Molting is such a faster process for the younger spiders. Hyde has never been quite as much of a fast-mover as Jeckyll... until now. He is lightning fast now as well. I need to add the lightning bolt to the label on his cage!
