From reading my other post on feeding my Ts, and their growth rate, I would like to spark a discussion on exactly what happens prior to a T going into premolt, and what starts that chain of processes.
I've learned that the availability of food, and how much a T eats.
From this can we assume that when T gets to a certain "fullness" something triggers to start growing a new exoskeleton under the current? (kinda like Cell division cycles)
Or is it more of a continuing developmental process that begins the moment the current exoskeleton hardens?
my line of thinking here is that the new exoskeleton begins to form, regardless of how much the T eats, and once it is developed enough then premolt begins.
Or is it something entirely different?
