Surfacing Moulters

Three of the six hermies have now moulted and resurfaced safely.

Sky, one of the smaller of the four large hermies has come back up after an eventful end to her moult with a vivid mid blue beginning to show that will hopefully increase next time. Her moult ended with her tunnel caving in as Rupert tried to form his above it. Luckily neither was harmed and after a couple of days in iso she went back into the main tank with no issues and has happily taken honey from the end of a cotton bud.

The smallest of the bunch, Valentina, was the first to surface in her own time and is still sporting her gorgeous vivid red colouring, alongside pointy renewed toes and a much less timid nature than she went down with. She decided to climb up my arm during cleanout and sat grooming while I took pictures without any flinching or shyness. The bottlecap of honey I offered her went very fast and she has also shown a real love of apple. stealing it away from the dish before any of the others get near.

The last of the moulters up so far appeared from under a coconut hide this morning with a deep navyish colour, one toe has yet to grow back but the others are all fine and he spent half an hour eating a colour boost hibiscus puree. 



Rupert and Ninja have both burrowed down to moult now and the final hermie that has yet to surface at all should soon.
