This was one of mine immediately after moult but it soon darkened as it hardened up.

That's what mine looks like, but really light blue though. Is that normal for a L. P ?

Im not going to bother it. I was going to pull the molt, but one of its legs is on top of it, and I don't wanna chance hurting my T. I'll just wait a few days

To be honest it scared me at first. I didn't see this the first time they moulted with me but of course they were much smaller then but when the second one looked the same just after moulting I realised it must be normal.

That's one way to tell a spider's molted recently, as the exoskeleton is white initially, which then makes the other colors look different. Fangs are white, then red, and then black when finally hardened.

Plus, it may depend on your lighting. Different lighting brings out different hues at different angles. Especially with T's. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't hemolymph a blue-ish gray color?

Have two rechargeable batteries and just changed the battery. I get the fact that it won't stay that color though. Thank you
