Hey there! How's it going? Another day another cricket, huh? Well, today I had a little surprise. As of yesterday, there were 2 that still hadn't grown enough to molt. Today, they still haven't molted. That's not the surprise though. Today, there should have been 55 that had already molted again. However, there were only 54. One of them has already molted again! During the last round of molts, I had thought that a couple of them had molted again before this molt. Now, I am sure of it. I am keeping all the the containers in a 10 gallon aquarium. As they began to molt, I separated the new molts from the others by placing them in the aquarium at opposite ends. The one I found today was in the middle of the ones that had already molted, and, as we all know, there are only 2 left that haven't molted. The same ones that were there yesterday! Any way, I do have a couple of photos to share. One is of one of the guys molting. It always fascinates me to see this. Gigi, my Brachpelma albiceps, molted Saturday and I was able to see almost the whole thing(even though it took about 4 hours). The other photo is of
(I think) my fattest baby who was still feeding on the cricket I gave it yesterday. So here they are.

This above, is the baby molting - just like something out of an alien or horror movie.

Here is the greedy little glutton. It amazes me how much their abdomens can swell and stretch. From what I have noticed, after they molt, they really don't eat too much. Don't get me wrong! They eat, and they eat regularly, but it seems they eat in moderation until their abdomens have filled out somewhat nicely. Then, they really seem to start gorging themselves. Their abdomens are noticeably larger every time I open their containers when the begin this gorging cycle. Well, that is all I have tonight. Hasta mañana y vaya con Dios.
