Was checking everybody today and found one of my male G porteri on his back on a web mattress. I watched an entire molt process, amazing !! I recorded the whole thing. Took about 45 min. to molt and then he stayed on his back for maybe an hour, then flipped over. I'll edit down the video and put it someplace it can be viewed.

It was so cool to watch how his colors changed as he dried. The legs and joints were almost see through like the fangs.

Today he is bright colored and looks twice as big. I'm editing the video down and when I find someplace to store it I'll let you know so it can be watched. It looks like it is very very hard on the T !! I can see why he laid there on his back for 45 min. after he was done.
