E mass molting! (7/9 came up this week!!!!)

Post by Guest » Sat Jun 28, 2008 2:46 pm

A while back I got 9 E's... which were pretty fun for the most part. 3-4 would be out at any given time, and the rest hid. Well after a week or so I only would see one E at most... and then none.

Two weeks went by without a single E sighting... so I feared the worst.

Well so far three have come up molted for sure, and 1 other looks to have molted as well. So 4/9 freshly molted... I'm hoping the other 5 little guys are doing good down there!

Here is a few pics of two of them, the third is climbing in a really odd spot I can't get to, and the other guy is hiding.

**EDIT** Make that 5/9 molted, another one JUST came up
**EDIT AGAIN** Sorry, 6/9 are up and freshly molted! wow...

**EDIT YET AGAIN** Sorry, 7/9 are up and freshly molted![/b]

Unreal! Maybe they have some kind of herding instinct.

Right now all of my 15 small to mediums are up. It's great, but I fear that they all will go down to moult at the same time.
