    Hey Damon/Rich, question: The one irminia that was in premolt is molting or molted in the paper towels, i can shine the light in just enough to see. Should i unpack that one all the way, or leave it in there still to come out on its own...? I dont wanna hurt her, but i want her to have enough room to get out. My first thought was to unpack her all the way because it could be too cramped in there for her to molt properly. If shes already molted then so be it, i'll have a hungry T to get in its new home lol. What do you think?

    I would open it and let her come out. She must have felt safe enough in there to molt. I wouldn't risk trying to unpack her.
    What size?

    And Damon that sucks!

    x2! on both parts. the irminia was 3" +/- a wee bit. i knew it was in pre molt but didnt think it would be that quick! her first food refusal was 4 days ago. it wasn't her fault really. she was giving it a cricket and the cricket bolted so she went to close the lid and the versi snatched the cricket as she was closing it.

    Yea thats what i did. She should come out an explore soon i hope :/

    This is why you always open containers slowly! The hmac had pushed the plug out of the way:

    I got her out though, she's a peach:

    The darlingis are so cute too! VERY fast though. These containers are wicked big for them. If they seem to be having trouble i'll bump them down to something smaller:
