My B. smithii has been molting since around 11am, and finally looking like she/he may be able to flip upright within the next few hours.
My question: during their ultimate molt, are tibial spurs visible immediately after they shed their old exoskeleton? Or, do they take a few weeks to develop after the ultimate molt?
Since this is rather new to me, and I don't have a ton of confidence in my exuvium sexing abilities, I'm looking for tibial spurs instead to get a tentative sex on this T.
Thanks!
