Happy monday everyone!  I awoke this morning to find 1 of my ghosts molted AND 1 of my ooths (chinese) hatched!  I am so excited!  When i saw my ghist this morning, i didnt realize  what happened immediately, i thought i somehow put 2 of my babies together.  Also, she looks like she is a hint lighter.  She was a very dark chocolate brown before the molt.  Not sure it she will darken or lighten as she dries.  

As for the ooth, i am waiting a few more hours to let them dry before i separate them.  I am keeping a few from each ooth and releasing the rest (Illinois DNR is fine with them being released)

Congratz on the molt and the ooth hatch! It always amazes me how ghosts can free all of their appendages without getting them caught or damaged. I hope all goes well!
