At about 4", according to the Canadian penny
Egg
Post embryo/EWLs
First instar
First instar, late stages, ready to molt
Second instar
Third instar
Fourth instar
Fifth instar
Sixth instar
Seventh instar
Eighth instar
Ninth instar
Tenth instar
I've been keeping track of the same individual from about 5[SUP]th[/SUP] instar (previous instars were from other individuals) from a bunch I hatched out back in 2011. My intention was to document their color change as they grew.
At 10[SUP]th[/SUP] instar, she looks pretty much like her mum, though her carapace could darken a bit. I don't foresee any more drastic changes so I think this may be the it, though I may still continue to see that penny get even smaller
This was previously part of this thread, but I thought it deserved it's own thread.
Fun fact: The majority of her siblings that are with me are still barely out of their sling clothes at 2".
