Centruroides at Second Instar

Right on schedule! A week after birth, the latest brood is molting to second instar. A better picture as first instars:


And a picture my fiancee took last night, the majority having molted:


(The scaled-down version doesn't do it justice, click here for the full version.) The one on the "shoulder" of the female's left pedipalp was trying to wriggle free of the last of its exuvium. I think the "humpbacked" one towards the upper-left of the pile is also in the process of molting.

I have another male hopefully arriving today, and a potential exchange lined up -- the new male for another gravid female.
