Our B. vagans (now T. vagans) hooked out on his last molt and for the last month has appeared to be in premolt (not eating, bald abdo, abdo turned black)
After posting a pic in the MM thread here it was suggested that he would molt again, well it's happening right now. I came home this afternoon to find him on his back.
At the advice of @Arachnoclown I have sharp scissors and cornstarch at the ready but I'm not sure I'm ready or knowledgeable to know if, when and what to cut. I hope I don't have to but now I'm frozen tankside watching.
How I found him
Fangs forward, abdo pushed out, carapace "escape-hatch" popped
