Hi, so far 4 of my P.transvaalicus molted into 3rd instar. The first 2 that molted first were really fat pre-molt and after molt, they came out really big. The other 2 that molted today weren't as fat as the first 2 in pre-molt came out smaller. My question is, was their size affected by the number of food I gave them before molting? It could've been affected or this might've been just a coincidence, regardless of what happen, i'm just glad that the molt was perfect.

Also, one of my Hottentotta franzwerneri gentili molted to 4th instar today :D
