Just waiting on Arwen to molt. She was pre-molt when I posted the original stuff, and she finally dug under about a week ago. In the meantime I tried to ensure she got a lot of the recommended Vitamin A foods. Now is the wait-and-see period. :) Thanks, Marie!

Arwen has molted, and she's doing very well. She's mostly hiding out and, unfortunately, her eyes don't look much bigger. I started feeding her the Vitamin A when she was getting to be pre-molt, and that may be one reason: decreased appetite. One eye is a little bigger than the other, definitely. I will post some pics when she comes out and is comfortable (she's hiding most of the time still). Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
