I was doing my nightly feeding, watering, and misting, and noticed the large hermie intensely checking out one of the new turbos I put in last night. Called my daughter to come watch, and within a few minutes, he got naked & popped into the new shell. I am so glad, because he came in a painted shell. It's the first time I've ever seen one nekid, & they look so funny! Anyway, I thought it was cool that we got to see it! Our little one is on its second week of being buried and hopefully molting. Still no dead smell, so hopefully its going alright!

Shell changes are fun to watch, especially their careful inspection of the shell prior to changing.
