While Jon and I were gone for the weekend the little A. versicolors started to molt into second instar spiderlings. If left to incubate with mom after their second instar molt the slings would emerge from the eggsac. I love watching them molt from first to second instar. The size difference is incredible! I can't wait until shipping, emails, and feeding is over so I can sit down and observe them. I'll see if I can get some video :)
First instar spiderlings. You can see the new, blue exoskeleton underneath their creamy white "skin"
Three electric blue second instar spiderlings, the first to molt amongst their siblings.
