My female ghost molted to L5 9 days ago, and she's always been completely brown, even for several days after she molted to L5. I was taking a close look at her yesterday and I noticed she was tinged with some green. At first I thought it was due to the lighting or maybe I was imagining things, but then I realized she really *is* greenish.

I've read that ghosts might suddenly emerge a different color right after they molted, but not in between molts. Is this normal?

Btw I always wanted a green ghost, so do you think this means she will become greener with subsequent molts?

Hopefully she'll just turn greener in the future. I'm not sure how or why she just kinda suddenly turned green, though. But it's awesome that you've got a green ghost now! I'm really hoping mine turns green in the future. :p
