Well, folks, tonight there is a little bit more exciting news. One more has molted. That makes 2 that have molted for this go around. One died, but it wasn't the one I dropped yesterday. It was one of the ones in the "Timid" stack. That leaves only two of the more severely timid ones left. The one I dropped yesterday seems to be doing great - as if nothing happened. That leaves all the rest that are fattening themselves up in preparation to molt. Here are a couple photos of the 2 that have molted.
This is the most recent baby to molt. It's darker that the one that molted yesterday, which is a nice change. They are darkening in appearance. Older ones are black with salmon pink setae or bristles Hence the name Brazilian Salmon Pink.
This is the first one to molt. It's not as dark as the one above, and it still has a piece of exuvium stuck to its abdomen. I tried to remove it, but it's being pretty skittish, so I thought maybe it'd be better to just leave it as is. Well, that is all for now. Good night.
