Wanted to share with everyone. My lasiodora parahybana just molted recently. Oh man was it exciting! This is my first T. Let me just say that the size and color after the molt is just amazing!!! I was not able to get the greatest pictures with my phone but still cool! Unfortunately I was unable to sex it.

Well as I do live in America molt is correct for me :p

molt
mōlt/
verb
  1. 1.
    (of an animal) shed old feathers, hair, or skin, or an old shell, to make way for a new growth.
    "the adult birds were already molting into their winter shades of gray"
noun
  1. 1.
    a loss of plumage, skin, or hair, especially as a regular feature of an animal's life cycle
So, in effect we're all correct lol

Cheers @ breeze it's only 3/4 inch dls and has only eaten once since I have had it 3 weeks ago I think my big worry is not being able to see it. My other two moults one happened over night and I didn't know it was due. And my other was a sub adult curly hair that made a big song and dance making a mat to lie on.
