Well, the times are changing. Now that there are no more waiting to achieve their first molt, I have less to keep track of, and, therefore, less to report. There were 2 that died since yesterday. If you remember there was 1 that for the past two days I thought was going to die. Well, it did. It certainly hung on there though. The other one that died was one of the very timid ones. That leaves 4 left in that stack. It kind of doesn't surprise me that one of those would die as only one appears to be eating well, and perhaps life is just too stressful for them. Wow, it's a good thing they don't have to ward off any predators if that's the case. Anyhow, that leaves 58 if I counted right that are now waiting to molt once again. I did have an interesting surprise though. One of the largest, which I had set as aide for my co-worker, whose dark spot had gone from round to a triangular shape, today now has a nice round spot - again!
Here are a couple photos of it with it's newly rounded spot.
This one is a fatty. It's usually a very hearty eater. I am hoping that since its dark spot has become round again that this might indicate that it may be getting close to molting again. I hope so. I swear that after eating they look like they are about to burst, and I continually wonder how far their exoskeletons can stretch. That is another reason whyI feed them every other day...to give them time to digest their meal and get a little hungry again. Well, that's all there is for today. Keep you fingers crossed that no more die overnight. Ciao.
