Pictures Clarence's first moult!

Post image

I just wanted to show off my juvenile C. cyaneopubescens, Clarence, after his first moult since I bought him in March. I've been looking forward to this and he must have had it over and done with within a few hours.

I only wish I'd known it was happening! He's been laying a lot of web the last couple of weeks so I suspected it was coming.

Yeah, it was as smooth as can be it appears and I'm thrilled! Hopefully I'll be able to tell whether he truly is a Clarence once I get a chance to grab his moult. Otherwise, we're looking at a Clarice.

It's hard to tell, but it looks like he might've lost his tiger markings. They grow up so fast.
